from my email news from the Family History Libray, Salt Lake City, Utah USA
I enquired of a list friend about a timetable for filing / digitisation of Welsh parish registers because at the moment only bishops transcripts are available:-

A very-recent visitor to the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah, talked with a knowledgeable person there about the Welsh parish register situation, who he had heard rumors, but had no official confirmation yet about their release for filming.

However, he said, he didn't think the LDS was filming in the UK at the present time.

With the coming of digitization at the FHL it is entirely possible that filming will be skipped and the records will be digitized directly.

He pointed out that the FHL staff haven't anything to do with filming or digitization; that is handled by another branch of the church, its Family History Department in its headquarters building.

thank you very much

Gmail and other back up methods

The experts agree that copies of print outs on acid free paper distributed out of house to genealogical and other libraries are likely to have the longest shelf lives.

and

and to the deposit libraries of the world like the Library of Congress and the British Library.

Digital formats may change, and CDrom and magnetic storage deteriorate but some MSS have survived for a thousand years or more.

MY ANCESTOR WAS A BASTARD

The latest book in the SoG 'My Ancestor' series ~
A Family Historian's Guide To Sources For Illegitimacy In England and Wales by
Ruth Paley
Publication Date: 27 September 2004
Price: £6.50 plus £1.50 postage and packingMembers have 10% reduction in cover price of book

Trade terms available upon request
Order your copy today!

The second half of the 20th century witnessed a transformation of attitudes
to sex and sexuality.
Very few people today would be worried aboutadmitting that they or one of their relatives were illegitimate.

Matters were very different for our ancestors.

For them illegitimacy was a shameful thing, to be hidden from public knowledge.

The web of deceit they spun to ensure their secrets stayed secret means that tracing the truth aboutillegitimate ancestors is one of the hardest tasks that a family historiancan undertake.

This book is designed to help you uncover the information your ancestors did not want you to know.
It provides an introduction to the world of the unmarried mother and her child and discusses how best to formulate a search strategy.
It then goes on to describe the available sources: where to find them, how to use them and what information they contain.


For those who want to learn more it includes a list of books for further
reading, a directory of useful websites and a glossary of some of the weird and wonderful synonyms for bastardy that you are likely to encounter in the course of your research.

Finally there is a step by step guide that will
help you draw up a research plan tailored to your own needs.

Early Manuscripts at Oxford University: "Early Manuscripts at Oxford University
Digital facsimiles of complete manuscripts, scanned directly from the originals"

Beginning with collections of Celtic manuscripts from several Oxford libraries (manuscripts digitised in this phase date from the 9th to the 19th centuries, and are of Irish, Welsh, Cornish and Breton origin), the project was subsequently extended to include a broader range (dating from the 9th to the 16th centuries and of various origins).

This project completed in September 2000. However, in January 2001, the web server providing access to the images failed, and interim responsibility was taken up by the Oxford University Libraries Automation Service's R&D section. In relocating the web site we also undertook a complete redesign of the web site, as well as correcting a number of broken links in the original site

Arkivalieronline have made passwords compulsory to protect against mass downloads of images.

no more danish genealogy for me :-(

Yogh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Yogh is a letter used in Middle English, representing y (SAMPA /j/) and various velar phonemes. Velars are sounds that are usually made when the back of the tongue is pressed against the soft palate. They include the k in cat, the g in girl and the ng (SAMPA /N/) in hang."
it looks a bit like a 3 and is new to me character yogh - pronounced either [joUk], [joUg], [joU] or [joUx] - came into Old English spelling via Irish

and to me from Stan Mapstone

Thorn was used in writing Middle English before the invention of the
printing press: Caxton, the first printer in England, brought with him type made in
Continental Europe, which lacked thorn, yogh, and edh. He substituted "y" in
place of thorn.

It is represented as þ (lowercase) or Þ (uppercase), and has the sound of
either an unvoiced th (such as in the English word "thick")

or the voiced form edh (such as in English "the" better example weather),
