Today’s Genealogy Bargains – Sunday, November 25, 2018 – Cyber Weekend
UPDATED 4:00 am CST, Sunday, November 25th, 2018
In case you haven’t heard, what started out as Black Friday – a one day after-Thanksgiving sale day which put many businesses in the profit zone for the year (“in the black”), has morphed into an entire month. And now instead of just Cyber Monday (the day traditionally when people shopped online because the Internet was faster at work), we have Cyber Weekend!
