Society of Genealogists talk: Scottish Research Resources Before 1800

It's busy on the talks front again! I've just given a talk this morning to Phyllis Court Family History Society, and my next offering will be this coming Saturday 19th February 2022 for the Society of Genealogists in London, with the topic being Scottish Research Resources Before 1800. Here's the description:

In this talk Chris Paton, author of Tracing Your Scottish Ancestry Through Church and State Records, takes us to pre-19th century Scotland, when things begin to get a little more complicated with our ancestral research.

From kirk to state, a variety of records are available, but it's one thing to find them, and quite another to understand them, with different handwriting styles, language problems and the feudal nature of Scottish society some of the many challenges that keeps earlier Scottish research fun but challenging.

Chris will explore the various record types available, and how to access them both online and offline.
