Finding Your Scottish Ancestors: Techniques for Solving Genealogy Problems

Temporarily out of stock

Tracing family history has become increasingly popular over the last few decades and the availability of many records online means that those fortunate enough to have Scottish ancestors can easily access many of the sources they need to build their family tree. However, as research progresses, most family historians will eventually hit the dreaded 'brick wall' and find themselves unable to proceed further. Finding Your Scottish Ancestors provides a wealth of information, advice and techniques to help solve these genealogy problems and gives family historians the tools they need to track down even the most elusive forebears. Contents include:

• Sources for Scottish family history research, both traditional archives and online resources
• Techniques for searching and interpreting genealogical records
• Planning and recording research
• Common genealogy problems and their solutions
