Sunday Sundries

Miscellaneous items I found of interest during the week.

The Conversation Canada Top 10 Most-read Stories of 2020.
Three of the top stories involved conspiracy theories. 

Coming from Pen and Sword
British publisher Pen and Sword promises a vast number of publications in 2021, Expect 114 of them to appear in January including Sharing Your Family History Online and Tracing Your Family History on the Internet, both by Chris Paton.

Correction on Legacy Family Tree Webinars O Canada Series
I was misleading in writing all the speakers in this were women. The complete list includes two presentations by Paul Milner: Tracing Your War of 1812 British Soldier; and Effective Use of England’s National Archives Website. Why didn't I recognize those as part of a Canadian series?

You can print a five-page brochure of all of the upcoming Legacy webinars for 2021 at

Did You Know
In Ottawa, over the past 100 years, the annual average temperature has increased by 1.22C, 1C of the increase coming in the last 50 years. That's largely due to overnight temperatures staying hotter — extreme minimum temperatures have increased five times faster than extreme maximums.
