My next Scotland 1750-1850: Beyond the Old Parish Registers course
run kicks off at the start of next month from November 1st 2021, for a further five
week run. If you're looking for a way to learn a little bit more each
week about your favourite subject, why not sign up?!
Here's the description:
This
is an intermediate level course in Scottish family history for those
who are going back beyond 1850. You should have some experience with
research in the Old Parochial Registers (OPRs) of the Church of Scotland
and in using major websites for Scottish research. This course
discusses sources that fill the gap when the OPRs are uninformative or
missing; for example, records of parish and town administration,
occupations, land transfer and taxation. Using these records involves
several different locations. You will learn how to check online finding
aids and how to find the most effective way to obtain records that may
be available online or offline. This is the second course on Scottish
research. If you have not previously taken the Scottish Research Online course please check
its description.
Lesson Headings:
* Kirk Sessions records and parish poor
* Burgh records and town poor
* Occupations, taxation and early lists
* Land transfer and the value of sasines
* Land, inheritance and estates
Each lesson includes exercises and activities; a minimum of 1 one-hour chat session per week. (See How the Courses Work at https://www.pharostutors.com/howcourseswork.php.)

Scotland 1750-1850: Beyond the Old Parish Registers has been
designed as a follow on course from the Scottish Research Online course,
although it can certainly be signed up for if you already have the same
level of knowledge as given from the earlier course.
And the second run of my new Progressing Your Irish Research Online course starts again on November 15th 2021 - further details at https://www.pharostutors.com/details.php?coursenumber=260.
I'll hopefully see you online soon!
NB: Please note that Pharos course prices will be increasing from November 1st, so if you want to save a wee bit, now might be the time to go for it!
