Dumfries and Galloway Family History Society's Online Shop

From Dumfries and Galloway FHS (https://dgfhs.org.uk):

Dumfries and Galloway Family History Society (DGFHS) Online Shop

Due to restrictions placed on us during the current Pandemic, DGFHS have closed the Research Centre, in Dumfries; we are consequently unable to fulfil orders for printed books. To allow customers to continue to purchase our publications, the Society’s Council decided to create an online shop to allow the sale of our publications in .PDF format, and pay using PayPal (the safe way to purchase online), while we remain closed.

The website has been launched today, with 62 publications being available and new publications will be added every few days until most of the Memorial Inscriptions, Old Parish Registers and Publications with extensive name indexes (as shown on our Publications List) are available. There may be one or two others but that will depend on availability.

If you are interested in a book that is not yet included in our Online Shop, please email us and we will try to include it as soon as possible.

The new page on our website is available at: https://dgfhs.org.uk - click on Shop Online in the main menu at the top of the page, for desktop browsers.

For Mobile devices the menu is accessed by clicking on the three parallel lines in the top right of the website.

You will be taken to a Shop Info page which tells you about the shop and what you’ll receive. Click the Link ‘Start Shopping’, to begin, or select one of the links from the Shop Menu to go to specific pages. The system allows you to add however many books as you require into your Basket before going to purchase. You can access PayPal either with your own account if you have one, or as a guest to PayPal and just input credit card details, we do not get any of your Credit Card details, PayPal handles all the online security. Once purchased you will receive a download link to access your purchases that does not expire so if you inadvertently delete the publication you can re-download. You receive two copies of the book. The First is a Read version that shows the pages sequentially the other is a print version that would allow you to print the book using double sided printing to re-create our A5 booklet.
