Interested in tracing your Scottish genealogy? The Scottish Indexes Conference is an opportunity to learn new research skills, discover diverse records and see how others have put these into practice, and is on this weekend. If you want to trace your Scottish family tree, this is an event for you.
Don’t live in the UK? No problem. The conference is live from 7 am to 11 pm UK time to make the conference time-zone friendly. Each presentation is shown twice, once between 7 am and 3 pm UK time, then again between 3 pm and 11 pm. You can come and go throughout the day.
