Western Australian Genealogical Society Inc.

The Scottish Special Interest Group was formed to help members with their Scottish research.

Meetings

Meetings are held quarterly on designated Sundays in February, May, August, and November with starting times of 2pm. All are held at May St Bayswater. We invite all WAGS members who have an interest in Scotland and Scottish resources to come along, bringing your questions and research successes. With the range of experience amongst the Group, you can look forward to interesting and informative sessions.

Workshops and Seminars

Workshops and Seminars are conducted from time to time according to requests from our Group participants

Newsletter: Scottish Forum

Our group newsletter is published quarterly, with a subscription of $10:00 AUD per annum due by 30 April. It aims to provide up to date genealogical news from within the Group, WA, Australia and in Scotland.  We're always open to suggestions, and especially submissions. Country members are particularly invited to send in articles or general research questions.
