During my short break, FindMyPast released several new record sets. Just in case they passed you by, here they are:
The National Archives website/blog has been busy, too:
- Olympic records at TNA;
- 'Distress in the Cotton Districts, 1863';
- Name indexing RAF records (see also here);
- Bookshop sale;
- Podcast - Colonial records (see also here and here);
- Podcast - England & Scotland at War;
- Podcast - Charities & their records.
This may sound like a very lazy way to update you all on recent Irish news, but nobody covers the subject better than Claire Santry on her Irish Genealogy News blog. Just in case you haven't been keeping tabs on her scribblings over the past few days then click here and scroll back through her recent news items (includes stuff on NLI workshops; Olympics; Irish GRO shenanigans; new RTE website; Tipperary & Limerick records; new Irish World Heritage Centre; Waterford marriages; Irish National Heritage Week; and PRONI September lectures. A fabulous service is Claire's blog!
Seems that a national sound archive for Scotland is in the pipeline.
