Course 10:
Scottish Genealogical Research
The course is designed to provide an in-depth look at the fundamental sources for Scottish research,
then to move beyond them to explore the lesser used sources to both locate and put ancestors into historical context.
Participants will have the opportunity to raise and examine their own Scottish research problems.
