From Booklist

Milner and Jonas, the authors of A Genealogist's Guide toDiscovering Your English Ancestors (2000), now turn their attentionto exploring one's Scottish roots. Citing the fact that more than 10million Americans claim Scottish as their primary ethnicity, theyprovide tips explicitly tailored to Scottish genealogicalinquiries. After reviewing library and Internet research basics thatcan be applied to any search or ethnicity, they zero in on retrievingexclusively Scottish data. Strategies for accessing and analyzingScottish civil registration, census, church, and land and probaterecords are included. A particularly effective device is theincorporation of the authentic records of an actual Scottish family toillustrate how to interpret and employ historicaldocuments. Margaret Flanagan
