Goals for my Coldingham one-place study in 2018

Looking ahead to the New Year I thought I’d jot down things that I’d like to tackle in this area in the next 12 months.

Now that I have a new website for the one-place study which I’m happy with the focus is on adding more content, both transcripts and indexes, and interesting new blog posts.

I’d like, for example, to add 1700-1709 to my lists of surnames per address in Coldingham parish.

Another priority is to focus on kirk session minutes, indexing interesting references, for example cases of fornication and illegitimate births.

My Coldingham WW1 servicemen and women project is still ongoing, with new material to be added online soon.

I have lots of ideas for new blog posts to add, about interesting people, places and events.

I’d also like to blog more about unusual sources. For example I’ve previously indexed Coldingham parish testimonials (ie migrants) between 1710 and 1744, and should blog more about that sometime.

Many ideas anyway. Looking forward to it!
