- Discounts: Some exciting offers are currently listed on Genealogy Discounts and Freebies. The best one expires soon.
- Indexes: I am indexing Missing Friends registers and Brisbane Prison Hospital admissions. Watch for links to be added to my 'indexes' page.
- 'Off The Record': This highlights records that many family historians overlook (eg, plastic surgery archives!) Each fortnight's Off The Record has a different theme, with links to four series (one each from the UK, Ireland, USA and Australia/NZ). Recent themes include Death records, Local collections, World War I, Military records, Criminal records, and the (In)Justice system.
- 'In Time and Place': The Queensland State Conference on local history, family history and social history is in Brisbane on the weekend of 3rd-4th Oct 2015. One of the speakers is Janis Wilton, whom I find quite inspirational.
- Placenames: A useful site is Renamed places in Queensland.
- FindMyPast: More Australian records are now on FindMyPast. Scroll down on the page that lists recent additions.
- Ireland's Catholic parish registers: These are now online as free images. See Chris Paton's article with the link and extra advice.
- Free e-book: Surnames: Family Search Tips and Surname Origins consists of five guides ('4 Keys to Surname Origins and Meanings', 'Seven Strategies for Surname Research', 'How to Construct Google Surname Searches, Step by Step', '10 Sources to Find Female Ancestors' Maiden Names' and 'Country-by-Country Guide to Naming Customs').
- WDYTYA? handouts: Download speakers' handouts/slides from Who Do You Think You Are? Live in 2014 and 2015.
- Wednesday's Webpage: This is a new feature on my Queensland Genealogy Facebook page, which anyone can read (no need to log in).
