Topics = FamilySearch Affiliate Library Edition with Lorraine

Folklores, Myths, Traditions & Superstitions with Diana

Lorraine will take us a journey through what you can find in the FamilySearch Affiliated Library records - available in the SAG Library at Kent Street in Sydney. This will be of major benefit to newer Scottish researchers as well as being a fabulous reminder to those more experienced researchers.

Diana has been looking into some social aspects of life in Scotland - things that shaped the lives of our ancestors. It won't be a "how to research" session but rather some interesting, weird, wonderful and at times downright terrifying folklores, myths, traditions and superstitions which made life difficult and intriguing and everything in between. There will be nothing about clans, tartans, haggis, or the Loch Ness Monster! But there will be a wee bit of AI included.

Plenty of time for questions so come along for the ride and learn about the FamilySearch records and the lives of our Scottish ancestors.

We will also ask you for your suggestions for topics you would like to see on the 2027 calendar. Give this some thought and come with your 'wish list ' - we will ask you to put this into the chat at the end of the session.

Come along and join us as we research our Scottish ancestors in a collaborative, friendly and engaging research group. Make sure you have your questions ready and also be ready to assist others if you are able to as this is the basis of what all SAG Groups are about - people helping other people with ideas and suggestions about their family research.

Skill level:  All - Beginners welcome
