Scottish Genealogy Network meeting on February 11th in Glasgow

It's been three years since members of the Scottish Genealogy Network (http://scottishgenealogynetwork.blogspot.com) last met in person, but fingers crossed we are now on the other side of the pandemic. As such, now is as good a time as any to catch up with colleagues to discuss all things genealogy! 

The Scottish Genealogy Network is, as it suggests, a network for those who work professionally within the family history world in Scotland, whether as a genealogist, archivist, librarian, tutor, or in ancestral tourism. There's no membership fee, it's a group of like-minded folk coming together to discuss the various issues and challenges that we encounter in our everyday lives in the industry, over a drink or a bite to eat. We have visited archives in the past to help in our professional development, and have also held our own conferences for members. We also have our own private Facebook group where we can share news, events and help each other out, with access to this group conditional on attendance at a meeting. You can find out more about us at the SGN website above, and read several past events reports there also. 

We'll be meeting at The Counting House in Glasgow's George Square on Saturday 11th February 2023 from 1.00pm-2.30pm, for a chat, a drink, and perhaps a bite to eat, so if you want to see what it is all about, why not come along and join us? (A further visit is also provisionally penned in for Saturday March 4th in Edinburgh, details tbc)

If you are a working genealogist, work professionally in an associated discipline, or are a retired professional in the field, you'll be most welcome to attend - hopefully we'll see you there!
