Thanks to Caithness FHS and Queensland FHS

Thanks to Caithness Family History Society (https://caithnessfhs.org.uk) last night for its warm welcome when I gave a talk via Zoom on the subject of Genealogy Without Borders. It was the society's first hosted talk event on Zoom, so it was an honour to be the one to give the talk, and we had a great session after with some Q&As. 

The society has a new book out, Stroma Monumental Inscriptions (Member price £5.00 / Public price £6.00), which I promised to plug! Details on this and other titles are available at https://caithnessfhs.org.uk/publications.php

 

A big thanks also to Queensland FHS (www.qfhs.org.au) for its warm welcome on Tueday last week, when I gave a talk on Scotish Kirk Session Records, with an equally warm reception. I've heard some great feedback, so glad it helped those who found it useful!

Next week I'll be even busier on the talks front, with the following sessions planned:

Tuesday 14 SEP 2021
Society for One Place Studies
Scottish family history resources pre-1800

Thursday 16 SEP 2021

Saturday 18 SEP 2021

I hope to maybe see you there!
