Last year we’ve mostly met in person, but held the January meeting via Zoom to avoid any weather disruptions. Attendance dipped a bit this year, but this could be seen as a positive sign that life is at last returning to normal as engagements and appointments again compete for space in our diaries. Membership has remained static and no vacancies are anticipated before meetings resume again after the summer break.
We’ve enjoyed sharing our family stories and ongoing research progress with each other, which often prompts helpful suggestions for next steps from group members. We made no group visits this year, but are hoping to arrange a trip to the National Registers of Scotland for next year.
Some of us have undertaken genealogy study during the year, including the new University of Strathclyde open learning course on Genetic Genealogy.
Topics discussed this year include dating old photos, writing up family histories and the 1921 Scottish Census. We’ve also made use of the projector and screen in Unit 7 for the first time and hope to do more of the same next year.
