Dear Colleagues,

The purpose of this special issue is to strengthen connections between research on Family History, Genealogy and Local History, to give a greater understanding into ancestral lives.

To enable this we have put together key authors in their fields who will show both the experienced and amateur researcher how they should go about their investigations and more importantly where to look for specialist information.

There are many helpful websites available for amateur an experienced family researchers.  This special issue invites contributions that evaluates these online resources, explaining their benefits in use, and, furthermore, what to gain in using them.  We also invite contributions that focus on specialist areas of research into local history that add “meat to the bones” of family genealogy research.

We would also like to highlight community projects using local history and genealogy and how these projects can be organized to involve the lay researcher. A current example of this is the McManus Project in Dundee investigating the background of all the subscribers to the original building of the Albert |Institute.

Lets go forward with this.

Those who wish to submit to this Special Issue, should first send a short Statement of Interest to the Guest Editor by End May 2018 , with a short description of the planned manuscript. These should be sent to: johnwirvine@aol.com

Mr. John W. Irvine
Guest Editor
