As usual, this issue is packed full of helpful information and resources.
Best Free Websites is a surefire winner for the lead article in a genealogy magazine!
Jonathan Scott’s article for WDYTYA covers sites like FamilySearch and the CWGC, which are known to most genealogists. He also reveals “the online hidden gems that can help you grow your family tree for free.”
Most sites are British. A few are international and throw in a sprinkling from Australia, Ireland, Israel and the US. Canada doesn’t rate!
The other lead articles are about visiting Dublin and the Olympics. Did you know there’s a website with event results and medalists from every Olympic Games since 1896?
I always look for something relevant to my home town. This time, it’s from the Norfolk Record Office blog
norfolkrecordofficeblog.org/ snapshots-from-the-archives
with entries on “fascinating documents in its archives, from the medieval Great Yarmouth Borough court rolls to the diary of an elderly local woman during the Second World War, as well as useful advice on family history research and ‘Behind the Scenes’ posts revealing how the record office is run.”
Hmmm, might have to send a comment to the editor on the lack of Canadian websites – would have thought LAC at least would rate a mention.
