Writing Short Reports November 4-November 27

JewishGen will again offer a class in publishing your research. This
class concentrates on short reports. Time to get your data out of
the shoebox and arrange it in a summary report? A quick, short report
is great to send to relatives or other researchers and to remind you
just where your last project left off.

In this class we will practice writing 3 styles of reports: a list
style, a lineage style report and a longer Genealogical Summary Report.
The instructor will offer directions for using your genealogical
software "publishing features," organizing your files and folders,
citing your sources and making decisions about media snips and images.

Requirements: Students must have done enough research to be ready to
write. Students should have access to a genealogical software program.

Students must have 8-10 hours per week to study the assignments, write
their reports and interact with the instructor. To meet the needs of

In late September I posted about the new Scotlands People website and for
the first time one can research free of charge the index to records
including statutory records of births, deaths and marriages. At the time I
missed that you can now search and view the LDS transcription of the
Scotland 1881 census completely free. You must register (it's free). If you
are a registered user, you will need to login in with your password and you
will be prompted to set a user name and password email address and
password. If you have not registered previously you need to login in.

To register go to: https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/. The site has videos
on how to login, register, checking your account and about the website. To
access the videos go to: www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/exploring-new-site

Once you have registered and to access the census go to the advanced search:
https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/advanced-search. Click on Census returns
and under select click on 1881 (LDS) and you'll see that all the results are
free to view! While it says "view" you will get the full transcript.

More Free Scotland Searches: Another Scottish site is Scotlands Places
where you can search across three national databases to access historical
resources relating to places throughout Scotland.

The user is able to enter a place name or a coordinate to search across
these collections or they can use the mapping in the website to both define
and refine their search. Information is >from the following sources:
Historic Environment Scotland (HES)
The National Records of Scotland (NRS)
The National Library of Scotland (NLS)
with support >from School of GeoSciences at the University of Edinburgh
and the Scottish Government.
To search go to: http://www.scotlandsplaces.gov.uk/ Enter a place name
into the search box, or elect a county >from the map on the first page.

Thank you to Peter Calver, Lost Cousins.com for advising us about the census
and ScotlandsPlaces.

Scotlands People is a pay-per view site except for those areas mentioned
above that are free. To read about the cost of credits and how they are
batched see:

Scotlands People is a partnership between the National Records of Scotland
and the Court of the Lord Lyon. The Court of Lord Lyon is the official
heraldry office for Scotland.
