Summer Magazines

Our genealogy magazines eventually reach us as we travel during the summer.

From the June/July issue of Internet Genealogy: An article called "Scottish Tax Rolls Online" might be of interest to those members with Scottish ancestors. Visit http://scotlandsplaces.gov.uk to check out their offerings.

Also in the same issue is a reminder that since February 2018, all digital collections at the Swedish National Archives are free to search and view. You can select "English" to view the instructions. Here's the link: http://sok.riksarkivet.se/digitala-forskarsalen.

The July/August issue of Family Tree Magazine contains a comprehensive article by Lisa Alzo on overcoming obstacles for Eastern Europe research. She provides strategies for figuring out changes in spellings of names and also place names as borders "moved." A list of useful Eastern European genealogy websites is included.
