The latest podcast from the National Archives in Kew is entitled At the Instigation of the Devil: Suicide and its Records, a talk from Dr Kathy Chater on how our ancestors coped with a suicide in the family. It can be freely downloaded from iTunes or listened to at http://media.nationalarchives.gov.uk/index.php/at-the-instigation-of-the-devil-suicide-and-its-records/.
Great choice for a lecture topic. I don't often listen to the TNA podcasts, but will definitely be dropping in on this one, as a two times great grandmother of mine committed suicide in Inverness in 1860.
