This is the most practical, the most up-to-date, and the most informative guide to Scottish ancestry ever to come on the market. Packed with information and advice on basic research techniques, it focuses on the holdings of the two principal Scottish record repositories, the General Register Office at New Register House and the Scottish Record Office, both in Edinburgh. With records of births, marriages, and deaths before and after 1855 and census returns from 1841 to 1891 at the first-named location, and wills, testaments, deeds, and church records at the other, the author guides you, record by record, to a successful conclusion of your search. With chapters on other records and repositories, five useful appendices (including one that lists every parish in Scotland by district number, county and commissariat), and various maps, this publication will be welcomed by everyone interested in Scottish genealogy.

Tracing Your Scottish Ancestry. 3rd Edition

Ancestor hunting has been very much a growth industry, by no means confined to Scotland. Yet its scale has been exceptional there, probably because of the huge amount of emigration that began in the 17th century and reached its peak after World War II. It has been estimated that worldwide there could be as many as 20 million people of Scottish extraction. Clearly laid out, this guide offers detailed yet straightforward instructions on completing research of your family history, using all the resources available and explains the complexities of the available records and sources. In addition to detailed descriptions of the sources, the book also includes facsimile illustrations of the kinds of documents the ancestor hunter is likely to encounter and contact details for useful organizations. Details on heraldry, tartans, surnames and information on how to draw up a family tree are also included. It also includes a step-by-step case study, which serves as a model for research.
