You can get free online access to Scottish Newspapers if you live in Scotland by joining the National Library of Scotland's, (NLS), online service.

So sorry to here this sad news, although I'm not often on rootschat these days I was aware of Guy sharing his wealth of knowledge. My condolences to his family.

Scotland / Re: Blyth family
« on: Thursday 22 September 22 19:25 BST (UK)  »
This is very interesting, it would be great to find a connection. My gg and ggg grandfather's were both named Robert Blyth. If you're ever in Moffat and go to the park there is a tree there, known by locals as the 'Blyth' tree.  My gg grandmother Lucy Blyth planted a tree in honour of George V's visit to Scotland in 1911 because at 99 she was the oldest person in Moffat, she lived to be 101.  :)

Hi
Apologies I have just noticed your message.  My Blyth family were from Leadhills and Moffat.  The family were well known in Moffat in the 19th and early 20th Century.  My GG Grandmother, Lucy Blyth died in 1913 aged 101.  Do you think there might be a connection?  :)

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Looking for some advice regarding old photos please
« on: Sunday 04 September 22 19:49 BST (UK)  »
I'm looking for some advice regarding some black and white 1960s photos.  The photos have been sellotaped into an old soft card scrap book.  Some photos have fallen out but still have old sellotape attached others are still sellotaped into the book.  It is specifically what to do about the sellootape I'm looking for advice about, is it best to leave it on or is there a safe way of taking it off before moving them into a more suitable album? (I am in the process of scanning them), Thank you  :)

I was pleased that before you buy the record the names of some of the household members come up.  It was very helpful in confirming I had the right records  :)
