Mobile Genealogy

It's amazing how smart phones can help genealogists do research these days.

You can use your phone to carry out research, scan documents, and share your findings.

Sandra Crowley gave a interesting talk at the RootsTech conference earlier this year, which you can watch on-line here:

There's even a web site:

if you want to stay ahead in this rapidly changing area.

Genealogical Directories and Military Family History

I've long been a fan of UKBMD, so when Ian and Sharon Hartas launched two new sites, I knew they would be good. 


UKGDL stands for UK Genealogical Directories and Lists.   There's links to over a thousand sites with maps, photographs, school lists, ships' lists, taxes and tithes, trade directories, voter lists and much more besides


UKMFH stands for UK Military Family History research. Again there's over a thousand links to sites that offer online information in a wide range of categories to help you with your Military Family History research. 


New links are added regularly, so it pays to keep coming back.
