5.0 out of 5 stars Anthony Adolph's Tracing Your Scottish Family History, 5 Mar 2009
By Mrs. B. Davis (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Collins Tracing Your Scottish Family History (Hardcover)
Even if you are not of Scottish ancestry, this is a book worth reading. It delivers interesting insights into the history of Scotland. It also generously guides you, if of Scottish ancestry, through the websites and other sources of information for your own private research. The pictures are first rate.

4.0 out of 5 stars worthwhile, 17 Feb 2009
By Mr. K. N. Watt "wurz" (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Collins Tracing Your Scottish Family History (Hardcover)
keen geneologists and family tree makers will find a lot of this old hat but there are enough new and interesting topics with website links. Ragman Rolls info and links and some other more obscure links which are no longer in use or ar broken. Nice looking book and a good pick up and put down read.

This review is from: Collins Tracing Your Scottish Family History (Hardcover)
I bought this book as a present for a friend. He is tracing his family history in Scotland so I thought it would be ideal for his purposes. His feedback is that he finds it very informative and it has given fresh impetus to his search.
