From Scottish Indexes (www.scottishindexes.com):

Scottish Indexes Conference VI - 10 October 2020

During 2020 we have been hosting a series of free Scottish genealogy events, a series of conferences designed to help you trace your Scottish family tree.

Here’s what we have to look forward to:

  • 'Scottish Marriage: Instantly Buckled for Life' by Chris Paton, genealogist at www.scotlandsgreateststory.co.uk and author of ‘Tracing Your Scottish Ancestry through Church and State Records’.
  • 'Genealogy in Glasgow City Archive' by Dr Irene O'Brien, senior archivist at Glasgow City Archives.
  • ‘The Records of the Highland Archive Centre’ by Lorna Steele, of the Highland Archive Centre.
  • ‘Tracing Scottish Ancestors on Ancestry’ by Kirsty Wilkinson, genealogist and author of 'Finding Your Scottish Ancestors: Techniques for Solving Genealogy Problems'.
  • ‘Using DNA To Solve Adoption and Unknown Parentage Mysteries’ by Michelle Leonard of Genes & Genealogy, co-author of ‘Tracing Your Ancestors Using DNA: A Guide for Family Historians’.
  • 'Fife Family History Society' by Ali Murray, Chair of Fife Family Society.
  • Genealogy Q&A hosted by Graham and Emma Maxwell

The next conference is scheduled for the 10th of October 2020. We start at 7 am UK, this is early evening in Australia and New Zealand. We keep going until about 11 pm UK time so that people in the United States and Canada can watch too. Each presentation is shown twice throughout the day and we have a live Q&A with each presenter, as well as two longer Q&A sessions throughout the day. Nearer the time we will post schedules in a variety of timezones.
