On Thursday I am flying to Ontario to participate in the Ontario Genealogical Society's Annual Conference (www.ogs.on.ca/conference2014/index.php) at Brock University in St. Catharines, as hosted by the Niagara Branch of the OGS, and I'm very much looking forward to it! I will be giving a few talks at the event, including the Houston Memorial Lecture Genealogy Without Borders (Friday), The Godly Commonwealth: The Kirk's History and Finding Scottish Church Records (Saturday, being streamed live) and Scottish Marriage: Instantly Buckled for Life (Sunday), as well as participating in a social media panel session early on Saturday morning hosted by John Reid of Canada's Anglo-Celtic Connections blog (www.anglo-celtic-connections.blogspot.ca), which will be streamed live also. There are many other speakers, including several from Canada and the UK - for the full conference programme, visit www.ogs.on.ca/conference2014/OGS%20Conference%202014.pdf.
For the live-streamed webinars, please email register2014@ogs.on.ca
It should be a great event, and although I'll be busy I will try to keep up with news output whilst away, and bring a report on the proceedings after I get back.

Now available for UK research is the new second edition of the best selling Tracing Your Family History on the Internet: A Guide for Family Historians. And for those wishing to take Scottish ancestral research a bit further, my next Pharos course, Scotland 1750-1850: Beyond the Old Parish Records, commences May 14th 2014.
Thanks very much for coming to our conference here in Niagara!! You can see Chris at our Panel Of Speakers on Social Media at the following links:
