Genealogy 1, although well-established, saw some changes in membership during the course of last session. Some members are just starting their family history research while others are more experienced. We meet in Unit 7, although Zoom meetings can also be used when the weather is particularly stormy.

Last year we mostly shared family stories or sought suggestions to help with our ongoing research. Occasionally we focused on a particular theme for our discussions and a favourite was the meeting where we used the projector and screen in Unit 7 to help us explore the NLS Maps website. We also discussed what got us started researching our family history and a session on DNA was planned for those with an interest in that subject. Two visits were arranged jointly with Genealogy 2. The first was a tour of Perth & Kinross Archive and the second involved a tour of the University of Dundee Archive. All who attended, whether experienced or less so, found both tours interesting and came away with some ideas for future research. Ideas for future visits are being explored
