Scottish genealogy events in January 2022

Happy New Year all / Bliadhna Mhath Ùr mo chairdean! 

To kick off the new year, I am reviving a feature that I used to do when I first started this blog many years ago - a monthly listing of Scottish hosted/themed genealogy events. I have tried to include as many as I have been able to locate, but if your society is hosting an event, I'd be more than happy to list it in future posts (or to amend this one if it is in January!). To share details, please email me at chrismpaton@outlook.com
