Kirsty Wilkinson's new Scottish research book available on Kindle, plus a new blog

I announced last month on this blog's predecessor that a new book was on its way from a pal which I think will be well worth purchasing, and that it is available for pre-order. A reminder of that announcement:


Finding Your Scottish Ancestors: Techniques for Solving Genealogy Problems
Kirsty F Wilkinson
(Robert Hale Ltd, to be published 27 Jan. 2020)
 

Tracing family history has become increasingly popular over the last few decades and the availability of many records online means that those fortunate enough to have Scottish ancestors can easily access many of the sources they need to build their family tree.
However, as research progresses, most family historians will eventually hit the dreaded 'brick wall' and find themselves unable to proceed further.

This book provides a wealth of information, advice and techniques to help solve these genealogy problems and gives family historians the tools they need to track down even the most elusive forebears. Contents include: sources for Scottish family history research, both traditional archives and online resources; techniques for searching and interpreting genealogical records; planning and recording research and, finally, common genealogy problems and their solutions.

The book is available to pre-order in the UK at www.amazon.co.uk/Finding-Your-Scottish-Ancestors-Techniques/dp/0719830532/

UPDATE: I pre-ordered the book last month but received an email a couple of days ago to tell me that the print copy release has been pushed back slightly to March/April, so hang in there! However, Kirsty has now blogged that the Kindle edition of the title is now available at https://www.amazon.co.uk/Finding-Your-Scottish-Ancestors-Techniques/dp/0719830532/ at £11.99.

In addition, Kirsty has also set up a dedicated blog, Finding Your Scottish Ancestors: Techniques for Solving Genealogy Problems, at http://findingyourancestors.scot, with an opening post on how to locate Scottish poor relief records online.

Please do subscribe, Kirsty knows her stuff!
