"A do-it-yourself volume for the increasing number of people who long to go ancestor-hunting but don't know how to start. . . . Scottish Roots will start many people on a stimulating new interest." --The Scots Magazine
"[Ancestor-hunting] begins with tapping the memories and photographs of the eldest member of your own family circle. After that, this informative and entertaining book will lead you step by step, up, down and along the branches of the progenitorial tree." --Life and Work
More and more people today are tracing their roots, and a glance at the names in the local newspaperwill attest to the huge number of Americans who are descended from the highlands and lowlands, the glens and lochs, the islands and mulls of Scotland.
Scotland offers a vast array of facilities for genealogical research, and Scottish Roots: A Step-by-Step Guide for Ancestor-Hunters tells you exactly how to tap into the wealth of services and information available to trace your Scottish forebears and make the best use of these resources. The author shows how two individuals, who initially had information only as far back as their grandparents, were each able to trace a substantial family tree using such resources as the New Registrar House, the Scottish Record Office, local libraries, Scottish folk museums, and field investigation. Instructions are included on using these resources no matter where you live.
