In Search of Scottish Ancestry
This has been the standard guide for Scottish family historians since its first publication, in 1972, and has enjoyed enormous success throughout the English-speaking (and Scots-populated) world. After a corrected reprint in 1979, it now appears in an enlarged format in a new edition that takes account of the latest information and more than a decade of readers' comments. It takes the reader from the time when he is first led by curiosity to make enquiries of aged aunts and uncles to the time when he is far back in the centuries, immersed in an absorbing and often lifetime hobby. For people of Scots descent, whether still at home in Scotland or abroad, in the rest of the British Isles or dominions or in the U.S.A., this is the most useful, the most readable and the most comprehensive guide to the methods and the peculiar problems (and fortunate advantages) of the seeker of Scottish ancestry or family history. The book is also invaluable to historians, biographers, sociologists and all others who make use of Scottish archives. Book jacket.
