From the Strathclyde Institute of Genealogical Studies, news of a forthcoming two-day in-person Scottish genealogy course event at the University of Strathclyde:
Intermediate Scottish Family History Research course
Join us on Tuesday 5th and Wednesday 6th May 2026 at the University of Strathclyde for an engaging two‑day Intermediate Scottish Family History Research course.
Participants are welcome to arrive from 8:30–9:00 am each day, with teas, coffees and biscuits available to help you settle in before the sessions begin.
The course will run until 5:00 pm on day one and conclude at the earlier time of 4:15 pm on day two.
Designed for intermediate level researchers, this hands‑on course features talks from prominent Scottish genealogists and educators, covering research techniques and using a variety of Scottish records. In-course exercises will provide hands-on learning to embed the skills and knowledge covered. This course is also suitable for anyone who attended the 2-day Introduction to Scottish Family History Course (summer 2025).
The two‑day course fee is £165.00 (participants are asked to bring their own lunch. tea/coffee and biscuits will be available throughout the day).
The two-day event will see talks by myself (Chris Paton), Catriona Haine, Judith Russell, and Alison Spring. You can find details of the full programme at https://www.strath.ac.uk/studywithus/centreforlifelonglearning/genealogy/scottishfamilyresearch/. I'll be giving the following talks on Tuesday 5th: Scottish Burgh and Trade Incorporation Records, An Introduction to DNA Testing, and Scottish Research Resources Before 1800.
I hope that you can join us!
(Don't forget also that I will also be participating in Strathclyde's two-day Irish family history course from April 21st-22nd 2026 - further details on this can be found at https://scottishgenes.blogspot.com/2026/02/university-of-strathclyde-to-host-two.html)
