Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / 23and Me - data theft
« on: Tuesday 05 December 23 13:13 GMT (UK)  »
The Times today has an article which says 6.9m users had their data stolen in an attack on their DNA testing service which happened in October, far exceeding the 14,000 people it previously said had been affected. This does not affect me but I thought members may be interested.

Midlothian / Holyrood Square, Edinburgh
« on: Saturday 25 April 20 18:02 BST (UK)  »
A number of my distant relatives lived at various homes in Holyrood Square, it no longer exists but I hope someone can tell me where it was. I have searched online and all I can find are a number of photos which suggest it was somewhere near Dumbiedykes but the 1913 map I have does not identify it. Holyrood Square was sort of infamous in the 1890-1920 period as the home of 'Daddy' Weddell who earned his nickname due to the number of children he fathered with his 3 wives. Including 15 children with my 1st cousin twice removed who was his second wife.

The GRO has a notice on their log in page saying that due to changes they have had to make they may not be able to fulfil orders with their published timescale. They ask that people delay placing orders until a later date if possible.
