Catching Up With Chris

NEWS

I took my first look at Chris Paton's ScottishGENES blog this morning since returning from holiday and, surprise, surprise, found myself with plenty of news to trawl through.  So if you didn't keep abreast of Mr Paton's trusty efforts whilst I was away, then you may want to have a look for yourself now.  Failing that, I've picked out a few highlights...

A couple of events for the weekend...

And the British Library has launched its 'eBook Treasures' for the iPad - see here.

WEBSITES

An important new blog has popped up relating to Jewish ancestry.  The Jewish Genealogical Society of Great Britain is the organisation in question, and their new blog can be found here.

MEDIA NEWS

Family history matters are making their way onto the small screen increasingly these days, it seems, and who are we to complain?  Latest news in this respect is the new 'Find My Past' programme to be shown on cable channel 'Yesterday' from 20th October.  Chris Paton explains all here, including the contents of the lengthy press release.

ARTICLES

If you're a subscriber to GenesReunited you may not have noticed that you can gain access to an increasing number of online articles.  See here for a flavour of what's available.

OTHER STUFF

If you've Irish ancestry you may wish to participate in Eneclann's competition, where a neat prize is up for grabs.
