New conference date and further records from Scottish Indexes

From Scottish Indexes (www.scottishindexes.com):

We’ve added another 26,167 prison register entries to www.scottishindexes.com. This latest batch are from Edinburgh Bridewell, Edinburgh Lock-up House, Ayr, Dundee and Kirkcudbright prison registers.

The next Scottish Indexes conference date has also been announced for 23 OCT 2021. This will be the thirteenth free to attend conference since the pandemic started, and I'm happy to say that I'll be giving my talk on Tracing the Irish in Scotland at the event. 

Also announced as speaking at the event are:

  • Eilir Daniels - ‘Tracing Welsh Ancestry’.
  • Amelia Bennett - ‘Hidden in Plain Site’
  • Dr Louise Williams, archivist, discusses Lothian Health Services Archive
  • Lorna Steele from the Highland Archive Service discusses school records.
  • Chris Fleet - ‘Using the NLS maps website for family history research’.
  • Genealogy Q & A hosted by Graham and Emma Maxwell.
