Not Much Happening

There is very little going on this coming weekend - well, as far as I can tell. If I've missed anything, then do let me know:

• Saturday 9th & Sunday 10th June - History Festival of Ireland, Co.Carlow (you'll have to be very quick to book for this one);
• Saturday 9th June - Military Ancestry Roadshow at Surrey History Centre, Woking (inc. talk);
• Postcard Fairs at Rochester (10th) and Leicester (10th) - see here. Please check with organisers before travelling;
• Other various heritage events at the BBC's 'Things To Do' website.

There is virtually nothing to report from elsewhere today, I'm afraid, as our nation feasts itself on the remnants of the Jubilee celebrations and overindulges itself in Bank Holidays. However, I fell across this useful summary of recent genea news on the Family Tree Magazine website (most of the stuff I've already covered, but there still a few bits which I've missed).

Though it's not strictly UK/Irish history, I know you'll like this piece entitled When John Met Sarah - Convict Courtship on the 'A Rebel Hand' website.

Thanks to @findmypastIE on Twitter for this list of Top 10 Celebs You Never Knew Were Irish.

Indeed, there are a few other bits and pieces of news, etc., available via the BI-Gen Twitter feed ... but it's a little on the quiet side, too!

That's all for today.
