Since my
mom’s side is 100% English – well, there is the one lone Scotsman in the family
– I am always on the look out for British records. And, I’ll tell you a secret – I have reason
to believe that our Scotsman’s ancestors were probably Irish. Not just Irish -- Catholic Irish. As is often said, my mom would roll in her
grave hearing that; she is the person who on St. Patrick’s day made a point of
wearing orange!
And, enough about my family ...
let’s look at some recent news (or sometimes “news” to me) about newly
available records from across the pond from England ,
Scotland and Ireland

- Historic Graves (shows mostly Irish graveyards)
