It has more than 100 million records. You can use it via the Internet to see census records from 1841, also statutory birth, marriage and death records from 1855 and earlier Parish Records of baptisms, marriages and burials. Online you can buy credits (starting price GBP 7). For this fee, you will receive 30 "page credits" which are valid for a full year. Viewing a page of index results costs one credit and each page will contain up to 25 search results. Viewing an image costs five credits. Tip: you may want to use the online version before you travel and then put time aside during your visit to Scotland to do further research. Other genealogy resources such as www.ancestry.co.uk do not have the same reach as ScotlandsPeople but may serve to get your search underway. Specialist Genealogists Borders Ancestry offers an accredited professional genealogy research service. Specialist areas are Berwickshire, Roxburghshire and Northumberland. Major online research and a large collection of records is held on site in our well equipped research room. Personal guidance and small workshops are catered for by appointment. www.bordersancestry.co.uk Scottish Genealogy Research is a research team with over 25 years of experience. All that is required is a name, event (birth, death, or marriage) that took place in Scotland and a date; in some cases a year or decade can suffice.

  • Clan Home Gathering 2018
    CLAN HOME GATHERING AUGUST 2018 The Clan Home Association is pleased to announce that the next Clan Gathering will take place in Berwickshire around the weekend of 11th-12th August 2018. The dates selected mean that Clan members, family and friends, can, if they wish, join in the activities of the Coldstream Civic Week before the Gathering and go on to the Edinburgh Festival in the week following. Figure 1 - Wedderburn Castle The organisers of the Coldstream Civic Week are very excited at the prospect of many Homes, Humes and others associated with the Clan combining with them to celebrate their Civic Week. 1 Figure 2 - Duns Castle The plan is to base the Gathering at the magnificent Wedderburn Castle, as in 2013, but also, on the assumption the numbers will justify, to use the wonderful facilities at the neighbouring Duns Castle. Given that the organisers propose an even more ambitious programme than in 2013, the aim is to make use of the next fifteen months to build interest in the events so that a record number attend the 2018 Gathering. This would of course require more facilities to be available for use by attendees. Those who would like to stay at Wedderburn Castle or Duns Castle are invited to contact the Clan Association to register an interest. Rooms will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. At present the CHA expects Wedderburn to be rented for three nights, starting 10th August, and Duns for six nights, starting from the evening of Tuesday 7th August. 2 The Association plans are still being developed, but the current thinking is that the Gathering will start formally on Wednesday 8th August with a day given over to Genealogical matters.

  • Discovering Unknown Medieval Descents : a Genetic Approach – Medieval Genealogy for the Masses Graham S Holton
    Discovering unknown medieval descents : a genetic approach – medieval genealogy for the masses Graham S Holton Abstract Genetic genealogy, combining the use of documentary evidence with DNA test results, holds the potential to reveal previously unknown medieval descents for those with little documentary evidence of their ancestry. The work undertaken as part of the Battle of Bannockburn and the Declaration of Arbroath Family History Projects has developed methodologies to advance studies of this nature which are described in this article. Covering various aspects of the process including ethical issues, the role of documentary evidence and appropriate types of DNA testing, the article includes several case studies. The article argues that genetic genealogy can provide a gateway to medieval genealogy for the masses. This article examines a topic which has been central to the work we have been carrying out at Strathclyde University since 2013, as part firstly of the Battle of Bannockburn Family History Project1 and now the Declaration of Arbroath Family History Project2. Clearly everyone living today has medieval descents. Most of these are unknown, but many will be from landed gentry, noble and even royal families. This possibility provides the potential for uncovering these unknown medieval descents. How we can go about this is what I will introduce to you here. I will focus on methodologies for tracing medieval descents, based on the experience of the Battle of Bannockburn Family History Project and the Declaration of Arbroath Family History Project. These Projects consist of both a documentary and a genetic genealogy strand. The documentary strand in particular has been the major focus of the student work on these Projects, while the genetic genealogy strand is largely carried out by staff and is the area of interest in this article.

    ********************************************************************************* GENEALOGISTS FOR THE SCOTTISH CLANS by Robert D. McLaren 7810 Kincardine Court Alexandria, VA 22315-4025 (703) 971-6924 [email protected] 8 April 2000 Version 2000-3 © Copyright 2000 Robert D. McLaren The following list is a compilation of Clan Genealogists or Clan points of contact for genealogy (for the Scottish Clans and Family Associations). The amount of information available from these genealogists varies greatly, with some having extensive records. For example, the clan genealogist for Clan Scott maintains a database of all SCOTTs and is a coordinator of the SCOTT One Name Society. He has about 53,000 records on file dealing with more than 2,000 family lines. The clan genealogist/historian for Clan Barclay also is a coordinator for the BARCLAY One Name Society. She has about 19,000 BARCLAY/BARKLEY and collateral names on file dealing with 125 family lines. The Clan Morrison historian has a 6,000-name database of MORRISON families in the U.S. and Canada. Some clans have genealogy committees. When I learn about them I will include committee members in this listing. Some of these members only cover one or a few states. In these cases, I note the states that particular member covers. Also, some clan genealogists specialize in one surname of a clan. Clan MacKay, for example, has many surname genealogists. I am listing these surnames under the parent clan with a note (i.e., See also Mackie). The actual genealogist and his/her address will be listed under the surname (i.e., Mackie). For some clans, more than one society exists.

If you haven’t seen his beautiful jewelry or met this charming family, just look for the Clan Home tartan on the front of his booth. Rob Piland’s work was recently chosen by Early Ameri- can Life magazine to be included in their 2009 Directory of Tradi- tional American Crafts. Also, several pieces of his jewelry were photographed for a layout in the August 2009 issue which should be available now in Barnes & Noble stores. The photos were taken at Gunston Hall Plantation (www.gunstonhall.org) and it was very ex- citing to see Rob’s work in such a beautiful, historical setting. Please consider picking up a copy if you see one! From the Early American Life website: ”The Directory of Traditional American Crafts is an honor bestowed on a handful of artisans who work in traditional media, styles, and crafts, an award that singles out their work as the best now produced in America today. Each year a jury of museum curators, collectors, and other authorities selects the work of the top traditional crafters working in America to be honored and listed in the Directory, which appears in Early American Life magazine.” For more information or to subscribe please visit the Early American Life website: www.ealonline.com If it weren’t for Philo T. Farnsworth, inventor of television, we’d still be eating frozen radio dinners.
