The latest Your Family Tree magazine (issue 67, August 2008) is now on sale, packed with goodies.
The lead article looks at how to trace various employment records, with other articles examining subjects as diverse as travelling performers, rate books, newspaper research, how to create a family history film, Australian research, and the Edwardian Olympics.
On the Scottish front there is coverage on the test census being carried out next year in Edinburgh, Lewis and Harris, the opening of the new Perth family history centre, and Donald Trump's brief visit to his mum's croft on Lewis, whilst en route to buy the country in her memory (or something like that!).
Yours truly also offers an opinion piece on where to go for genealogical entertainment once family history programmes outstay their welcome on television, as they inevitably will one day!
Available at all spectacularly clever newsagents...
