This is a final blog post test prior to migrating email distribution lists to the blog distribution list. Could those people who were on the 11 January Zoom call please try to post a short blog to make sure that it works easily? Go to the blog page, and the first blog gives a link to where you can do your blog. Perhaps just explain one of your brick walls in your Becket(t)/Bicket(t)/Bichan research. If it is too complicated, please let me know how it can be improved.

My blog post is about work I have been doing on the Bichan branch of the Ayrshire Becket(t)/Bicket(t)/Bichan tree. I wrote a short article about it for the Journal of One-Name Studies, and you can read it here. I’ve also written a draft paper on the origin of the Bichan surname, which you can read here.
