A note from the publisher
About the Paper
The Fireside Gazette™ is a free paper for families: for the people tracing their ancestors, keeping the recipe box and still writing letters. It is set the way newspapers looked in the 1930s and 1940s: black ink, narrow columns and a front page you turn like the real thing.
Publisher and editor
Published by Pony Tale Publishing. Edited by Christine Burke von Riddern, FGG, author of 13 books, including Concrete Clues, a #1 Amazon bestseller in Genealogy.
