@mrjoeblack Any time 😁 always happy to help.

@mrjoeblack Hi. Census records are every ten years 1841 to 1911 though they have different information. Only certain Valuation Rolls are on Scotlands People more would be available on site at the record office.

SCHEDULE UPDATE!

We know many of you have been asking, and here is the live stream schedule!

A list of available class sessions is coming, but we have been overwhelmed by how much everyone has submitted that it is taking time to get it all ready. Keep an eye out here!

[Hannah R Bell @HannahBellBM]

@Dave_Lifelines This is one of the many reasons it's always worth checking with the local Archives or public records office. Though there are a lot more helpful resources online now.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a UK-based non-commercial transcription project that's looking for volunteers? Thanks.

Remembering the civilian internees and prisoners of war who died in captivity at Stobs Camp during #WW1. Dedicated to the comrades who died far from home. #RemembranceDay #WeWillRememberThem #LestWeForget

Who said accounts were boring? In these ones from John White, miller in Hawick he mentions birth, marriage, and death dates. There is even a poem written about his son!

It has been suggested that it had something to do with Jedburgh Silk Mill. Any ideas @BordersFHS ?

[Hannah R Bell @HannahBellBM]

Old maps are really interesting. Not only do we discover the lost railway that ran through Roxburgh but also some of the various buildings in the area. Does anyone know what the lace shed was near Roxburgh station?

🍁 Happy #canadianthanksgiving to all our friends & followers! 🍁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Canada & #Scotland go way back as we see from this emigration poster in #Gaelic from c. 1892. It offers families a £150 grant for purchasing livestock & machinery when starting a new life in Canada #NRSArchives

The presence of people of African origin in Britain may go back further than you might think.

As @DavidOlusoga points out, a unit of North African troops was stationed on Hadrian's Wall to protect the Roman Empire.

Hello #ancestryhour does anyone have any experience with French Records? Specifically Normandy? I am looking for a birth in 1778 in Granville (I think). Thanks.
