Scottish Indexes 13 conference takes place on Sat 23rd October

The next Scottish Indexes conference takes place on Saturday 23 October 2021. The following is a brief summary of what to expect, as outlined on the website at www.scottishindexes.com:

We will be welcoming back genealogist Chris Paton who will present ‘Tracing the Irish in Scotland’.

We are excited to introduce genealogist Eilir Daniels for the first time at the Scottish Indexes conferences. Eilir will present ‘Tracing Welsh Ancestry’.

We are also delighted to introduce Amelia Bennett, who will present, ‘Hidden in Plain Site’ - a journey through where to find genealogical records that are often not known about or forgotten in preference for the more commonly used websites.

Dr Louise Williams, archivist at Lothian Health Services Archive, will join us to share some of the gems from their archive. Lorna Steele will join us from the Highland Archive Service to share some of their amazing school records.

Chris Fleet will be joining us again from the National Library of Scotland. Their map collection is a priceless tool for genealogy research. Chis will help us get to grips with their website in his presentation ‘Using the NLS maps website for family history research’.

Genealogy Q & A hosted by Graham and Emma Maxwell. 

The conference is free to attend, either via Zoom or the company's Facebook group page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/scottishindexes.

Hopefully see you there!
