Scottish and Northern Irish genealogy events in March 2022

The following is a listing for March 2022 of Scottish and Northern Irish hosted/themed genealogy events, and Scottish/Northern Irish themed events worldwide. 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 March!). To share details, please email me at chrismpaton@outlook.com

Most of these sessions are online, although some are attendance based where indicated, and some may be for society members only, but please check the relevant links for further details.
