Catching up on more genealogy and history press releases: great news!

  1. The UK family history website, Findmypast, has announced the publication of a vast online collection of “Old Parish Registers” in collaboration with 9 local archives and organizations across Scotland.  “Dating back to 1561 and spanning 450 years Scottish history, the new collection contains more than 10.7 million historical documents chronicling baptisms, marriages, burials and more.”  Read the full details https://www.findmypast.com/blog/new/scottish-old-parish-registers. My Stuarts, Allardyces, Grants, and Edwards are calling.
  2. Legacy Family Tree Webinars and MyHeritage offer thousands of webinars. This September (aka Webtember) will offer four Fridays full of webinars. The cost: FREE. View on the Fridays, review, or view what you missed throughout the month. Register on my affiliate link http://legacy.familytreewebinars.com/?aid=6600. To subscribe and view all the handouts and the almost 6,000 archived webinars, join for $49.95 on my affiliate link http://legacy.familytreewebinars.com/?aid=1739.
  3. MyHeritage has acquired “90.91% of the share capital and 89.11% of the voting rights of Filae, a leading genealogy service in France.” It’s another boost for those of us with European roots. I hear my French ancestral lines urging me to investigate! Read the MyHeritage blog for more details. My Daoust, Boyer, Vinet, and other ancestor names are begging to be checked.
