A we thing I am doing for History Scotland magazine (www.historyscotland.com) next week on Wednesday 21st September:
Join us live on Zoom on 21 September as Chris Paton examines how a person’s whole family story may not be exclusively confined to the country within which he or she was raised.
As family historians, we can be tempted to try to tell the stories of our ancestors solely from the resources in the areas where they once lived, overlooking an important part of our ancestral stories which is the plight of those family members who left our shores.
As part of a wider worldwide diaspora, Chris will show how these emigrants can often provide further clues to the family stories back home, often with records that may plug the missing gaps for research with family members back home.
We’d love to welcome you to this fascinating 45-minute talk, with 30 minutes for audience questions after the presentation.
EVENT DETAILS
Chris Paton will present a live c.45-minute Zoom talk at 6.30pm (UK time) on 21 September, followed by 30 minutes of questions from the audience. The webinar will be recorded and made available to ticket-holders for 7 days after the broadcast.
Chris Paton is a genealogist and writer based in Ayrshire, Scotland, where he runs the Scotland’s Greatest Story research service at www.scotlandsgreateststory.co.uk. As well as contributing to many of the UK’s best-known family history magazines, he also writes for his own Scottish GENES news blog at www.scottishgenes.blogspot.com, and regularly gives talks to family history societies across the UK and worldwide.
