The family history world continues to limp along during what is a very quiet August. There isn't much to report on since my Friday bulletin, but here's what I have to pass on...
First up, there's the latest Lost Cousins newsletter.
The latest TNA Podcast is here. There's a little bit of background info, too, here.
Also from TNA: an update on the digitisation of WWI unit diaries project.
The great Neil Armstrong died a few days ago, of course - and here's a fitting post by blogger Randy Seaver (which focusses on his family history).
There's news of a 1831 Census for Jedburgh here.
The weekly round-up of entertaining history links from the Two Nerdy History Girls can be found here.
Forthcoming events of interest to the genealogist...
- Saturday 1st September - 'Wills & How to Read Them', Canterbury (need to book);
- Saturday 1st September - Stratford on Avon Book Fair;
- Sunday 2nd September - Dartmoor Book Fair;
- Tuesday 4th September - 'Tracing Your Limavady & Roe Valley Roots';
- Postcard Fairs at Haywards Heath (1st), Northampton (1st), Worthing (2nd), Leeds (2nd) and Nottingham (3rd) - see here. Please check with organisers before travelling a long way;
- Society of Genealogists' September programme;
