Get Ready for St.David's Day

NEWS

1st March is, of course, St.David's Day, so there are bound to be a few special events around to celebrate the National Day of Wales.  One of the most prominent is the day's worth of activities at the National Library of Wales, see here.

Irish Genealogy News brings us the latest 'Dates for Your Diary', as well as news of more online images of Dublin and thereabouts.

The Genealogist have released two important pieces of news re. the 1911 Census for Bucks and Birth Transcripts for 1973-2005 - see here.

Those of us who have regular dealings with ScotlandsPeople.gov.uk will be interested in this news (via the Anglo-Celtic Connections blog).

ARTICLES

Readers may be interested in the latest set of records 'saved for the nation', here.  The Turing story, generally, is an extraordinary one - with a tragically unnecessary ending, of course.

ON THIS DAY

1952:  British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, announces that the UK has produced its own atomic bomb.
