Genealogy News Corral, May 28-June 1

- Think you have a relative who served in a household of
Britain's Royal Family? (Perhaps as Chocolate Maker to the Queen
or Strewer of Herbs?) In celebration of the Queen’s Diamond
Jubilee, British genealogy website findmypast.co.uk, in
association with the Royal
Archives, has added a collection of Royal Household Staff
Lists. It covers royal residences across the United Kingdom such
as Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and St. James’ Palace, and
includes 50,000 staff records from the reign of King Charles II
to King George V (1660 to 1924). Details you might learn include
the person's occupation, age, length of service and salary.
- The Civil War Trust is holding its annual
photo contest. You can enter your Civil War battlefield
photos in five categories for prizes including publication of
your image, a trust membership, and registration to the trust's
annual conference. Enter before Aug. 26 by uploading photos to
the Trust's Flickr group—be sure to tag your image as directed
in the contest
rules. (Last year's winning photos are pretty impressive—view
them here.)
- UK cemetery site DeceasedOnline.com
has added records for 120,000 mostly rural Scottish burials. The
records comprise from 99 cemeteries and burial grounds, with the
oldest dating back to 1526. That brings the total of Scottish
cemeteries with records on the site to 250. Once you search for
a record, you can use pay-per-view credits or subscribe to view
the full information it contains.
