Next meeting - December 8th, Glasgow

The next meeting of the Scottish Genealogy Network will be this coming Saturday 8th December in Glasgow. We'll be meeting at the Mitchell Library in the early afternoon for a brief orientation tour of the facilities available for researchers, and will then relocate to a nearby hostelry for a catch up.

The meeting is open to all who work professionally within the Scottish genealogical community, with no fees or costs - just turn up for an afternoon gab with like minded researchers!

For further details please contact scotsgenenet@gmail.com

We'll hopefully see you there!
