Synopsis
"Scottish Roots" provides a step-by-step guide to tracing Scottish ancestry. Using an example of two Scots trying to discover their roots, Alwyn James illustrates how to commence the research process and gradually compile a worthwhile family tree. The author navigates the reader through the first steps of sourcing family details, making contact with distant relatives, and preparing to collate any new information. Drawing on Scotland's reputation for record keeping, the author explains in detailed but simple terms, how to go about searching for family records in New Register House, the Scottish Record Office, local libraries, and folk museums. Details of costs associated with record searching are provided, along with advice on maintaining realistic expectations during the research.
