Do you have Scottish ancestors and 25 minutes to learn about online resources for researching them? If you do, you’ll want to check this out.
The International Institute of Genealogical Studies recently posted the video, Unusual Sources for Your Family History, about researching Scottish resources, on its YouTube channel. The presentation is delivered by Morag Peers, the institute’s Director of Scottish Studies.
Resources discussed during the presentation include trove.scot — “The key to Scotland’s past,” Mitchell Digital Archive, maps on National Library of Scotland’s website, ScotlandsPeople, kirk session minutes, FIBIS — Families in British Empire, and valuation rolls.
I hadn’t heard of trove.scot until I watched this video. It went online in the spring and is worth a look.
