The Family Tree Scottish Genealogy Guide: How to Trace Your Ancestors in Scotland

BEWARE: Upfront is A Brief History of Ulster Scots, or Scots-Irish insert. Seems this Scottish Genealogy Guide is only for ancestors who emigrated directly from Scotland. The references to Scot-Irish Genealogy lead one to the Family Tree store and additional costs.

This is the second country specific book I have purchased from Family Tree. Like the German one the first half of the book deals wth history details I either forgot or were never covered in my education. Interesting and necessary for some of the rest of the book. The how-to last half is by definition filled with details on using the many different sources about different records that might help. The inclusion of the history part now made a bit more sense. I did not get a free review book like some of the other reviewers so I am a paying consumer not a complementary reviewer. Was a good Christmas present for my Wife with the Scottish ancestry.

Our family is tracking Scottish ancestors to build a family tree. The book has been very helpful for organizing our searches in Scotland and Northern Ireland. We highly recommend the book for other Scotties!!

Was a big help tracing my ancestors to Scotland. Had lots of websites to download free charts.

Finding Scottish ancestors can be difficult if you don't know where to begin. This book helps take the, "Where do I begin?" question out of your fears and helps guide you through the maze that is, Genealogy.
