Tracing Your Scottish Ancestry, 3rd edition
Kathleen B. Cory
Reg. Price: $15.00
250 pages, Polygon / Interlink Publishing Group
Ancestor hunting has been very much a growth industry in the last thirty years, 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 seventeenth century and reached its peak after the Second World War. It has been estimated that worldwide there could be as many as 20 million people of Scottish extraction.
This book is the ideal companion for all those who want to discover their Scottish roots. Clearly laid out and meticulously written, it offers detailed yet straightforward instructions on completing search 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 kind 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 contains a step-by-step case study which serves as a model for research.
