Essex Record Office has a lengthy series of events lined up for the coming weeks - contact them at ero.enquiry@essex.gov.uk for further details.
Elsewhere, I see that the latest Lost Cousins newsletter is now available - one of the best genealogy e-bulletins around.
A good few bits and bobs have popped up on the Irish Genealogy News blog of late - among them...
- Update from the Ireland Genealogy Projects Archives;
- New County Monaghan records;
- 'Some Snippets of News'.
Many of you will be interested in the newly-available DNA tests from Ancestry - here's US blogger Randy Seaver's early experiences of the set-up, which give a window into how they work.
Here are some discounted books from BooksIreland.
And this is not at all genealogical, but as it's from my corner of England I hope you'll excuse me. It's all to do with the British Library's latest purchase ... the oldest intact book in Europe!

Underneath this sod lies Arabella Young,
Who on the 5th of May began to hold her tongue.
