The Scottish Indexes Conference will begin on Thursday 9 April 2020 at 06.00 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and continue until about 20.00 UTC. This should give you an opportunity to join whatever time zone you are in.
A full schedule for the day will be published as soon as possible. Genealogists across Scotland are volunteering their time to enable us to provide this event for free.
Chris Paton, genealogist at Scotland's Greatest Story will present “Discover Scottish Civil Registration Records”.
Clare Wilson of Treehouse Genealogy will show us how to set up and use Facebook for family history - perfect for beginners.
Anne Henry of Warthog Genealogy will give a presentation aimed at younger family members to help them trace their family history.
Andrew Armstrong runs Relatively Scottish and he has been one of our volunteers for a while now, helping us to index Kelso Dispensary Patient Registers, his talk will focus on these records.
Emma and Graham Maxwell who run Scottish Indexes will be on hand throughout the day and will present topics on Sheriff Court records, overcoming brick walls and how prison registers can help you trace your family history.

It should be fun!
PS: 6am Coordinated Universal Time is 7am in the UK at present (i.e. in British Summer Time). I've never actually come across the term before! Further details at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time
