Download or read book Scottish Genealogy written by David Dobson and published by Genealogical Publishing Company. This book was released on 2021-03-12 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work identifies the major sources and repositories for those just getting started on their research, and it also focuses on the other, less commonly used, sources that exist, which will allow more advanced researchers to put the basic facts they have gathered into context. With an emphasis on publications, manuscript sources, and archival records, David Dobson highlights ways to trace Scottish ancestors using alternative sources, primarily those covering the years between 1550 and 1850. For each research topic--including statutory registers, church records, tax records, sasines and land registers, court records, military and maritime sources, burgh and estate records, emigration records, and much more--Mr. Dobson has compiled an extensive list of the publications and archival records that will enable family historians to advance their research. Another unique feature is the inclusion of numerous excerpts from publications and archival records, which will help lead researchers to the sources most applicable to their research.

Download or read book The Picts and the Scots written by Lloyd Robert Laing and published by Sutton Pub Limited. This book was released on 1993 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who were the Picts and the Scots? For a long time the Picts were known almost entirely from their mysterious symbol stones, which generations of scholars have tried to interpret and date. The discovery of the St Ninian's Isle Treasure in 1958 added a new dimension to our understanding of these accomplished people, but still many problems concerning them and their links with Scotland remain unresolved. This account presents the latest archaeological discoveries and discusses the evidence for the relationship between these two peoples, tracing their development from raids on Roman Britain to the formation of rival Dark Age kingdoms that produced a unique artistic inheritance.

Download or read book The Rise and Fall of the Victorian Servant written by Pamela Horn and published by Sutton Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Victorian England measured social acceptability in terms of the number of servants employed in a household. It is perhaps unsurprising then that this frequently overlooked body of workers actually formed the largest occupational group in the country at the end of the nineteenth century. In this illustrated account, Pamela Horn draws upon a wealth of contemporary sources and 'servants' books' as well as personal reminiscences by servants and employers. She presents a comprehensive record of recruitment and training; the duties expected by servants, and the wide range of conditions under which they worked, some of which led to happy retirement, others to prostitution or squalid death. It is a compelling picture of a vanished social system.

Book excerpt: Having succumbed to the 1970s craze for dramatic town centre redevelopment, it's refreshing to see pictures of a more old-world Irvine before the bulldozers moved in. By contrast, views of the harbour show a part of Irvine that not only survived the ravages of 70s redevelopment, but has since been sympathetically restored - and complemented by the Scottish Maritime Museum. Eglinton Street, Kirkgate, High Street, Bank Street and Bridgegate feature prominently, along with the racecourse, academy, signal tower and many other locations.
