On Tuesday 19th October I visited the Western Australian Genealogy Society library at Perth, en route to the airport, where I caught up with Liana Fitzpatrick, the society president, and Edwina Shooter, the librarian. Edwina kindly agreed to a short interview to describe the library's holdings, including its Scottish records, which included printed abridgements to Registers of Deeds and pre-1781 Registers of Sasines, as well as a whole host of other records. The following is the chat with Edwina, to whom thanks are given - and congratulations on winning the best website award from the Federation of Family History Societies in England!
