Scottish Irish English Course

So U Think U'r Scottish course begins Oct. 18th. It is primarily geared to Scottish researchers, BUT so very many of our Scottish ancestors moved around within the British Isles (mine certainly did!) this course includes numerous hints, tips, and secrets including lots of relatively unknown (but awesome) web links for all BI countries.

The full description of this course is found on the right side of this blog under SEPTEMBER archive, then titled So U Think U'r Scottish. There is still time to register, but I keep the numbers low (even though it's an online course) so I have lots of time to interact and assist each student.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!! What a great time to do some interviews?
