Review of April
What I’ve been working on and learning:
Delving into the family of my new great-grandfather, who came from London. As most of my ancestors are all in Scotland, it’s been interesting to learn more about records in England and to uncover new stories and look into the history of the places they came from.
Started using Ancestry’s new Networks feature. I have a couple of themed networks for “Aberdeenshire Poor Law” and “My Direct Ancestors”, but most are locality-based for different parishes in Scotland and my new research areas of Middlesex and Norfolk. I’ll be doing a fuller review of the Networks feature later in the year. Follow my blog from the RSS link of the main home page.
Following the DNA Discoveries webinar series on family-tree.co.uk - a series of 8 one-hour webinars presented over 2 months. Superb quality speakers as always.
Working on a new series of Ultimate Guides. Deep-dives into genealogy topics and methodologies. Coming soon!
Subscribe to my monthly newsletter to be amongst the first to hear when they are released!
My genealogy toolkit:
trove.scot - A brilliant new website from Historic Environment Scotland.
family-tree.co.uk - I have had a subscription for about 2 years and this is one of the most-used resources in my toolkit.
