Our meetings are informal and
friendly and cover many areas of interest including:
- Discussion of Scottish and Irish genealogical
matters
- Sharing new research websites, books, films,
CDs etc.
- Learning from specialist speakers
- M
embers sharing their expertise, experiences and knowledge.
Each time we meet
members have the opportunity to participate or just sit back and listen.
You don't have
to be an expert to join, and you will soon find everyone does their best
to assist each other. We might not have all the answers, but we do try to
point people in the right direction. Even the most seasoned researchers can
be helped by a new approach.
For anyone with Scottish or Irish ancestors our Member's Interests Database
is a wonderful tool, listing names, places and time frames. Each member receives
an excel file that enables you to sort it any way you wish. Otherwise you
can view a fixed version on the AIGS website.
The Group also assists to enlarge the library collection of Scottish and
Irish material by recommending specific purchases for our areas of interest.
We keep in touch with members through monthly newsletters, which are a
boon to those who live in outlying areas, and those who cannot attend all
meetings, as it is a summary of the information discussed during each meeting.
If you are an AIGS
member and have any Scottish or Irish ancestry, we would be only too happy
to have you join the Group.
