All Set for York

NEWS

The build-up to the Yorkshire Family History Fair continues (25th June).  Those of you who live in the south (or the far north for that matter) may not have been to this event, ever, but trust me, it's a very big occasion and much anticipated by thousands.  S&N Genealogy Supplies, under the guise of TheGenealogist, are sponsoring the fair, of course, and they have released a 'Yorkshire Special' e-newsletter, here.

Family Tree Magazine's July issue has been published today - see here.

DeceasedOnline have released more burial records, this time pertaining to Peterhead, Aberdeenshire.  Check out the news release, here.

Ancestry have updated their 'UK & Ireland Obituary Collection' - though I'm not sure how much new stuff is on there.  You can search the same without even logging in.

MEDIA NEWS

The BBC has listed a selection of forthcoming TV & Radio programmes of interest, here.
