Scottish Genealogy Network - Aberdeen visit

The next meeting of the Scottish Genealogy Network (http://scottishgenealogynetwork.blogspot.co.uk) will be this coming Saturday 22nd June, when several of our members will be venturing to Aberdeen to explore the resources there that can potentially help us with our work - including the Aberdeen and North East Scotland Family History Society and Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Archives.

If you work as a professional genealogist within Scotland (or elsewhere and just happen to be in the area!), or in an associated discipline, feel free to come along - drop us a note at scotsgenenet @ gmail.com for details. The network is an informal opportunity to meet up and discuss relevant issues of the day within our community - there's no fees and no formal membership, we're just a group of genies wanting to continually push ourselves further within our chosen field.

In July we'll be visiting Dumfries, and later in the year we'll be holding our second Continuous Professional Development event. For details of our previous event in Stirling, visit our blog at http://scottishgenealogynetwork.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/scottish-genealogy-networks-first-cpd.html.

If you work professionally within the field, we'd love to see you!
