Scottish land tax records in October's WDYTYA? magazine

The latest edition of Who Do You Think You Are? magazine includes an article by yours truly on Scottish land tax records, many of which can be found on ScotlandsPlaces.gov.uk. 

I also have a Q&A answer, questioning a football event depicted in a photograph, and how to identify it. A useful site you might not have come across before is the Glasgow Schools Football Asoociation platform at https://www.gsfa.net, which listed all past schools divisions and cup winners, although I have just noticed that this site appears to have gone down sicne I answered this, showing as 'temporarily unavailable' - you can see it most recently cached by the Internet at https://web.archive.org/web/20230216071537/https://www.gsfa.net/, but only the home page appears to have been preserved. Hopefully this site will be restored soon!

Also in the latest WDYTYA issue:

  • Melanie Backe-Hansen looks at English and Welsh house history
  • Rosemary Collins sdiscusses joining a family history society
  • James Hoare looks at wartime rationing
  • Phil Tomaselli looks at researching Boer War ancestors online
  • Jonathan Scott looks at researching medals and ribbons

And much more! For further details visit https://www.whodoyouthinkyouaremagazine.com
