Another in my series
of occasional round-ups, sharing some news and new finds in the world of online
family history.
A good alternative to GENUKI for Scottish research is Ancestor
Abel, compiled by Dr John Robertson. It lists each parish and its extant
records and other sources of genealogical information, with links to them where
applicable. Some of the links to external sites are no longer working; for
example the Angus Folk Museum in Glamis ceased to exist several years ago and
the link now simply takes you to the National Trust for Scotland’s main site.
The subscription website offers more
than a million pages from their newspaper collection free of charge. Of course,
this is to tempt you into paying for full access to their entire 50 million pages. Be strong!
This is a free application
that allows you to build an online space for your family tree, blog, or photographs.
You don’t need any programming or web-building skills, and there’s a quick
start guide to get you going.
The family history video host is holding a one-day conference this Saturday (28th May), offering free access to some of their recorded presentations. This month
the theme is German research.
