The BNA team is delighted to be attending the Tayroots Family History Day at the Mechanics’ Institute in Brechin on Friday 13 September, from 10am to 4pm.

A number of other archive organisations will also be attending the fair, including ScotlandsPeople, Angus Archives, Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Archives, and the Tay Valley History Society. So if you’re new to family history research, it’s a great chance to find out what genealogy resources are available and to get some free advice from the experts.

There are also some talks and workshops lined up, with the list of guest speakers including the family history experts, Dr Nick Barratt, Dr Bruce Durie, Chris van der Kuyl and Fiona Scharlau.

Admission to the event is FREE and you can just turn up on the day, although booking is required for the talks/workshops. So if you’re in the Angus area on that day, it’d be grand if you could visit the BNA stand and say ‘Hello’.
