Scotland is a land with a proud and centuries long history that far
pre-dates its membership of Great Britain and the United Kingdom.
Today in the 21st century it is also a land that has done much to
make its historical records accessible, to help those with
Caledonian ancestry trace their roots back to earlier times and a
world long past. In Tracing Scottish Family History on the
Internet, Chris Paton expertly guides the family historian through
the many Scottish records offerings available, but also cautions
the reader that not every record is online, providing detailed
advice on how to use web based finding aids to locate further
material across the country and beyond. He also examines social
networking and the many DNA platforms that are currently further
revolutionising online Scottish research. From the Scottish
Government websites offering access to our most important national
records, to the holdings of local archives, libraries, family
history societies, and online vendors, Chris Paton takes the reader
across Scotland, from the Highlands and Islands, through the
Central Belt and the Lowlands, and across the diaspora, to explore
the various flavours of Scottishness that have bound us together as
a nation for so long.
