Scottish Indexes conference schedule released for September 4th

Scottish Indexes (www.scottishindexes.com) has released schedules on its website for their forthcoming eleventh conference on September 4th:

Scottish Indexes Conference XII - 4 September 2021 (update 24 August 2021)

We’re looking forward to the 12th Scottish Indexes Conference. If you are joining us for the first time, here’s how it works. We start at 7 am UK time and keep going until 11 pm UK time. We do this to make our conferences time-zone friendly. Each presentation is shown twice, once between 7 am and 3 pm, then again between 3 pm and 11 pm. You can come and go throughout the day.

Here are some of the presentations you can look forward to:

• Margaret Fox, archivist at Traquair House and formerly an archivist at the National Records of Scotland will take an in-depth look at kirk sessions and cases that worked their way up to the Synod.
• Genealogist Michelle Leonard of Genes & Genealogy, co-author of ‘Tracing Your Ancestors Using DNA: A Guide for Family Historians’ (available here) will help us get to grips with DNA Painter.
• Myko Clelland will join us from Findmypast and Tessa Spencer will join us from the National Records of Scotland.
• Genealogy Q & A hosted by Graham and Emma Maxwell.
