The pandemic greatly affected our industry. We made significant changes in an effort to adapt, but the economic challenges were too great to overcome. This was a very difficult decision.

It’s sad to see the only Canadian-produced commercial genealogy magazine, Internet Genealogy, go under. I’m sure Ed Zapletal, Rick Cree and the team gave it there all and wish them all the best following the decision.
So sad to hear this
So very sad…the print business is a difficult one these days, and even internet magazines are a challenge. So sorry to hear that Internet Genealogy is now gone as well š
This is very sad for them. I am sorry to hear this news.

I loved their magazine! I wish they had announced this to their subscribers. š I have been trying to reach them for several days!
As a long-time subscriber, I’m saddened to know that this magazine will no longer publish digitally or in print. I always enjoyed the articles and learned something from each issue!
Like others, I am sad to see Internet Genealogy’s demise, however wish I had received a formal acknowledgement that this happened and some apology for my 3 year subscription that I will not be receiving.
I am in the same boat as you. I renewed for one year on October 9 and never got a single electronic magazine after that. I never received a notice/apology for going out of business and no refund was ever received. An inferior experience given I had been a loyal customer for almost ten years.
Exactly! I had a three year subscription to History Magazine. Iāve been buying it since the first issue; I wish this had been communicated to us. Sad that itās gone but quite disillusioned by the treatment of longtime supporters.
Sad to hear. Wish they would have notified their subscribers. Wish I wouldn’t have just done 3 year renewal in October 2023.
Sorry to read this. I have been trying to get in touch with them for the past month to find out why the latest issue didn’t reach me. Wish they would of reached out to their subscribers to tell them they were closing and apologize to subscribers that still had magazines owed to them.
Sorry to hear this. Ed is very honest, responsible individual who I’m sure did everything in his power to retain the business and staff. The pandemic has destroyed so much, one has to seriously ask why?
No excuse for total absence of final contactāeven now.
I am so disappointed and upset. History was my favorite magazine. Plus my kids had extended my subscription for 4 years as a Christmas gift with their hard-earned money! So I’m out 4 years of magazines, their gift and $109. I can NOT believe the only communication in the magazine’s last issue said they were correcting the problem and extending subscriptions 1 issue. Then, nothing. Not a follow-up email apologizing, refunding, nothing. Very unprofessional and uncourteous. I tried contacting the magazine and emailing all the top people – all emails were undeliverable. And as the person said above, hours on the phone were fruitless. So very sad, unfair and as the person said above – no excuse for how long-term subscribers were treated. Yes, I’m upset! Anyone doing a class action to get our subscriptions refunded?
I just renew my subscription to this magazine in August of 2023 , so were do I touch out to get my money back?
I agree about a way to reach them. I would have loved to been able to get the magazine online. It is so sad that such a great magazine was put to bed int that manner. I did a three renewal in 2023 and so sorry that I did, it is not the money lost but the way they seemed to slink into the night. An apology would have been nice since many of us believed in the magazine.
