In April my next book, Tracing Your Scottish Family History on the Internet, will be published. To pave the way, every week until publication I will flag up a key site or resource that you may not be aware of if you are new to genealogy, or which you may have overlooked if researching for a while, which might just help with your Scottish research!
This week... Tobar an Dualchais.
The University of Edinburgh funded Tobar an Dualchais/A Kist o Riches website at www.tobarandualchais.co.uk hosts some 50,000 recordings of stories, songs, music and poetry in both Gaelic and Scots, as recorded since the 1930s, which have been sourced from the School of Scottish Studies (University of Edinburgh), BBC Scotland and the National Trust for Scotland's Canna Collection.
Have fun!
* Tracing Your Scottish Family History on the Internet is available for pre-order now at https://www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/Tracing-Your-Scottish-Family-History-on-the-Internet-Paperback/p/17717.
