Free in June

☙ Are you running out of things to do at home? 

Looking for new ways to build your family tree?

Then check out just a few of the free events coming up 

online to inspire you and help you gain new skills ☙

Every day in June, MyHeritage is giving 
free access to a different set of their

records.  These range from newspapers to passenger lists, censuses to electoral rolls, and countries as far apart as Brazil, Hungary, Australia and Israel, as well as the UK, US and Canada.  Check out their schedule and see what interests you.  

For those with Scottish ancestry, Highland Archives’ Learn With Lorna Thursday Facebook live talks highlight different aspects of their archives’ collections. This week it’s 'Crime and Punishment', and some of the upcoming topics are 'Fake News and Reliable Sources' and 'Transport'. 

If you’re into maps – or even if you’re not – sign up for this webinar on June 25th, run by the National Library of Scotland (renowned for their fabulous digital map collections).  They don't just cover Scotland, either, but the whole of the British Isles, and include Ordnance Survey, Admiralty, and town maps throughout the centuries.  Find out how to use these great resources to trace your ancestors' footsteps. 

Are you scratching your head and wondering where you can get help with your research?  You might consider booking a free online consultation with staff at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City.  Find out if this would suit your needs and how to go about scheduling an appointment, or if the suggested alternatives might be more helpful and immediate.
