Hi soccerchick aka Kelly
Just for your interest and because you asked
Here in Aust we either call it night shift or morning shift (oh wait that last one is ex navy )
Did your graveyard shift many a time.
Where did you hear of TalkingScot? (2005)

Stewie,
Thanks for the info. We usually call the different shifts 1, 2nd, or 3rd (Day, Swing, or Graveyard respectively). Which if you really think about it, Graveyard should actually be called 1st (day) because the majority of the coverage is after midnight and falls on the next day.

I will be happy to scan the article for you. I will send that this morning when I get home from work (I work graveyard - 3rd shift - 11:00 pm - 6:00 am PST).
Just wondering, but do other countries call 3rd shift the graveyard shift or is this an American slang?
Happy Hunting....
Kelly
I greatly look forward to seeing the scan !

Hello
Read about the new site in April's Your Family Tree magazine. Overjoyed to find you all again.This site certainly seems more relaxed and cheerful than the SP discussion Group.
Not that I am being critical - I have learned so much over the last few years Thank you all

Hi Folks,
I found this from the link in Scotlandspeople updated website.
Haven't used the new site in anger yet too busy with work & stuff but it looks nice, a bit brighter than the dull brown/sepia colour they used previously.
I got into the Family History Thing after the BBC prog last year "Who Do You Think You Are?" and with the kind of access supplied by the General Register of Scotland over the Internet I am pretty well hooked.
The one thing that used to bug me was the lack of a forum or fora (if that's the plural) to ask daft questions. This genealogy thing is quite singular, I find, and it's quite easy to get stuck on something simple that can be answered with a simple reply.
I can understand why Scotlandspeople didn't carry on with the forum in terms of security and policing aspects, however this looks good so I'll be hanging around for a bit, probably several years by the look o' things.
At present there are 201 people accounted for, so I think they's a way to go, still not found anyone who came to a spectacular end but I'll keep looking!

I'd like to be apathetic but I really can't be bothered.
Looking for blacksheep & not finding any with
Groats & Stevensons in Orkney, Hood's in Dundee/Angus, Mclaren's in Clackmannan and Jolly's in Kincardineshire. There may be more!
