This collection contains records of over 90,000 Red Cross volunteers from Britain between 1914 and 1918. Documents in the collection were handwritten on index cards. All records are in English.

Using the collection

The collection may include the following information:

• Name
• Age at enrollment
• Address
• County
• Date on enrollment
• Name of hospital
• Rank
• Date of discharge
• Honours
• Description of duties

The records in this collection contain a wealth of information and usually span multiple images. Registrars often added comments on the backs of the records. While not always filled in, comments can be personal in nature and can often contain anecdotes or details about your family member's personality. Be sure to click on the arrow to the right of the image to browse the entire record.

Although British women couldn't join the military during the First World War, they were accepted into the Red Cross. Records for both men and women can be found in this


Derry-Londonderry, Northern Ireland, World War I Memorial Records, 1914-1918

After the First World War, plans were drawn for a memorial to commemorate all the soldiers of Derry City who fought and died in the conflict. Servicemembers from both the Army and Navy were included. This collection contains the forms (or Memorial Registers) sent out to the soldiers' families to confirm their name and rank.

If you have a Derry ancestor who died in the War, their name may be inscribed on the War Memorial (also known as the Diamond War Memorial) located in the heart of Derry City, Northern Ireland.

Using this collection

The forms include the following information:

• Soldier's name
• Rank
• Company or ship
• Regiment and regimental number
• Military honours
• Birthplace
• Death date

The Memorial Registers can offer important insights about your ancestor's service in the First World War. They may provide the soldier's regiment and regimental number, which can help you find his service records or other military documents. The Register asks for the soldier's "native place," which can tell you where he was born. It may also tell you whether the soldier had received military honours, and what kind. Additionally, you may find details about the soldier's death and if he was killed in action. At the bottom of the form is the signature and address of the person providing the soldier's information. This was often a close family member.

The Godly Commonwealth - Discover Scottish Church Records talk this coming Saturday

I'm giving a talk this Saturday 27th to the London based Society of Genealgists (www.sog.org.uk), on the topic of The Godly Comnmonwealth - Discover Scottish Church Records. Here's the blurb:

From 1560 until the mid 19th century, the Kirk was Scotland’s shepherd, moral guardian and disciplinarian, its records today providing one of the key resources for genealogical research. But in trying to establish a Calvinist Godly Commonwealth on Earth it defied the Stuart monarchs for well over a century, and through its democratic and Presbyterian zeal constantly split into denominational factions over endless points of doctrine. In the immediate aftermath of its greatest crisis, the ‘Disruption’ in 1843, its ancient theological enemy, Roman Catholicism, was once again back in force in Scotland, as a consequence of the Irish Famine. By this point the dream of the Godly Commonwealth was finally over, with the state taking many of the Kirk's former functions, including poor relief, policing, and the registration of vital events. In this session family historian Chris Paton will provide a broad sweep of three hundred years of church history in Scotland, and discuss its impact for the family historian in locating relevant records for research.

To sign up for the talk, please visit https://members.sog.org.uk/events/6538e4a633d2260008bb7d29/description?ticket=6538e4a633d2260008bb7d2b - for non-members the fee is just £10.

I hope to maybe see you there!

Update on Evidence Explained availability in the UK

After my recent review of Elizabeth Shown Mills' new fourth edition of Evidence Explained (see http://scottishgenes.blogspot.com/2024/04/evidence-explained-4th-edition-by.html), I was contacted by Murray Archer from Glasgow of West of Scotland FHS to say that he had been unable to obtain a print copy of the book from Amazon, or from Genealogical Publishing Company's overseas printing partners, who apparently don't cover the UK. 

I've been in touch with Elizabeth, who tells me that she was informed it was due to go onto the UK Amazon site at the start of April, and she is now currently chasing up her publisher about this. I know from my own experience that when my books are published in the UK, it is usually a few months before it then appears on overseas Amazon domains, so I suspect this is just the same thing happening in reverse. 

Hang in there, therefore, it shouldn't be too long before it become available, but if you can't wait, the e-version is certainly available for now (see previous blog post above)!   

(With thanks to Murray and Elizabeth)

Source: Aberdeenshire School Admission Records. Aberdeen, Scotland: Aberdeen City Council.

This collection contains images of school admission registers produced in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, between 1856 and 1928. The registers are arranged in a ledger format with printed column headings and handwritten information about students. Important dates for each student and information about their family were recorded. The registers included an index of students arranged alphabetically by surname.

The index provides the page number where each student can be found in the register. For schools closed before 1975, the collection is divided into geographic groups. There are records from regular and special schools in the city of Aberdeen, and records for schools in Aberdeen County. The registers don't have pictures of the students or the names of schools where the students attended.

Records in this collection may include the following information:

• Name
• Gender
• Birth date and place
• Admission date
• Discharge date
• Parents' names
• Mother's maiden name
• Residence place
• Year

Further additions to TheGenealogist's Residential and Trade Directories Collection

From TheGenealogist (www.thegenealogist.co.uk):

Over 10 million individuals added to TheGenealogist's Residential and Trade Directories Collection

The latest release from TheGenealogist contains over 10 million new individuals recorded in directories from the first two decades of the 20th Century. This virtual bookshelf stacked with volumes from the early 1900s to 1929 includes publications from all over the United Kingdom and Ireland.

These directories are filled with listings of people, their addresses and details of the places they lived in. Other directories list businesses and offer a fascinating glimpse into ancestors from this time.

You can use these records to discover the street address of your great-grandfather or their shop/business, perhaps learn where your great-grandmother practised her dressmaking trade from, or find the names of your ancestors' neighbours in the street listings. These directories will also reveal any listings of official positions that they may have held in charities, societies, local administration, etc., or even unearth your ancestor's telephone number!

With some books you can read topographical details about the village, town or city in which your ancestor lived. This will give you a better feel for what their area was like at the time that your forebears lived there.
