@OnePlaceStudies @UkNatArchives You're memory for what is downloadable is much better than mine! @LazyLoverUK is far too used to just turning up and jumping on a machine in the building!

[The Surname Society @surnamesoc_]

For those who require access to the digital content that is usually £3.50 you'll soon have access; thanks to @UkNatArchives for making this possible #ResearchFromHome Off the top of my head I'm thinking war diaries and probate.

[The National Archives @UkNatArchives]

We’re pleased to confirm that we will be giving everyone free access to our digitised collections very soon, but it’s taking our amazing digital team a bit of time to make it happen. (1/2)

@4TMLloyd @LazyLoverUK @Historylady2013 Hiya, just to let you know our committee meeting has been put back a week so that the new members can attend. I've not forgotten your offer & it is on the agenda :D

Hope you're staying safe and well.

[The Surname Society @surnamesoc_]

AGM Committee Report: We need new blood ....

A new vice-chair as @Historylady2013 steps down immediately, a Webmaster & a Treasurer. Also will require social media as @LazyLoverUK is stepping down in six months.

But we also need new volunteers generally.

[The Surname Society @surnamesoc_]

@4TMLloyd @LazyLoverUK @Historylady2013 We have a committee meeting next week, I'll speak with the rest of the team and find out what we need.

[The Surname Society @surnamesoc_]

Given the world is pretty much on lock-down how are you spending your enforced indoor time?

[The Surname Society @surnamesoc_]

Thank you once again to all our speakers @GrandmasGenes @kmpoppe @liannekruger @SharnWhite and to all our lovely members. Here's to another great year & look after each other.

[The Surname Society @surnamesoc_]

And now @SharnWhite gets to bring us some Shakespearean references with 'You think you are a Montague but maybe you’re a Capulet! A Rose by any other Name – Finding Ancestors who Changed their Names.'

[The Surname Society @surnamesoc_]

and you have thirty minutes to go and get a cuppa and get settled before @liannekruger talks us through 'How to keep track of every note using @Evernote)

[The Surname Society @surnamesoc_]
