With the summer holidays over, thoughts often turn to other activities such as family history. Many of Scotland’s family history societies take a summer break from talks, beginning again in the autumn. The Scottish Association of Family History Societies (SAFHS) website lists many of Scotland’s family history societies at www.safhs.org.uk (see the members tab) or you can look at the websites of the individual societies. For example, The Scottish Genealogy Society’s site (www.scotsgenealogy.com) details the society’s talks as well as the family history classes it runs, which can be booked online.
