Introduction to Scottish Family History event at Strathclyde University

On Tuesday 3rd June 2025 I'll be giving two presentations to the University of Strathclyde's two day long Introduction to Scottish Family History event in Glasgow, which starts on the preceding Monday 2nd June, and held at the campus itself.

My topics will be as follows:

Discover Scottish Land Records
An overview of the complicated (but useful) records concerning land and property transfer in Scotland. What they contain and where to find them.

Understanding Scottish Inheritance Records
An introduction to Scotland's system of inheritance, the records it created, how to use them and where to find them.

Also giving talks on a range of topics at the two-day event will be Tahitia McCabe, Kate Keter, Alison Spring, Dr Calista Williams, and Emma Maxwell.
