Book Synopsis Tracing Your Scottish Ancestry through Church and State Records by : Chris Paton
Download or read book Tracing Your Scottish Ancestry through Church and State Records written by Chris Paton and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2019-12-27 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The ideal instructional guide and reference for anyone doing genealogical research” by the author of Tracing Your Scottish Family History on the Internet (Midwest Book Review). Despite its Union with England and Wales in 1707, Scotland remained virtually independent from its partners in many ways, retaining its own legal system, its own state church, and its own education system. In Tracing Scottish Ancestry Through Church and State Records, genealogist Chris Paton examines the most common records used by family historians in Scotland, ranging from the vital records kept by the state and the various churches, the decennial censuses, tax records, registers of land ownership and inheritance, and records of law and order. Through precepts of clare constat and ultimus haeres records, feudalism and udal tenure, to irregular marriages, penny weddings and records of sequestration, Chris Paton expertly explores the unique concepts and language within many Scottish records that are simply not found elsewhere within the British Isles. He details their purpose and the information recorded, the legal basis by which they were created, and where to find them both online and within Scotland’s many archives and institutions. “A useful and very readable introduction to Scottish records, with many case studies to assist the reader, but there is also much in it that may be new to more experienced family historians.” —The Local Historian, journal of the British Association for Local History “Leads the reader through the Scottish record jungle.” —Canada’s Anglo-Celtic Connections
Book Synopsis Tracing Your Scottish Ancestry by : Kathleen B. Cory
Download or read book Tracing Your Scottish Ancestry written by Kathleen B. Cory and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Todd Gleason just can’t catch a break. Even when he’s enjoying leisure time on the island of Bermuda-in the capable hands of the lovely Lana Davies-he cannot escape his questionable past. Said past arrives in the seductive shape of Cindy Scanlon, whom Todd refers to as “the only one who got away.” Turns out Cindy married his best friend, Patrick, and then the duo upped and moved west to the sultry allure of Hollywood. Seems Patrick has gone missing and Cindy wants Todd to find him. There’s a catch, of course. Patrick is on the run from his corrupt boss, trying to scare up a fortune he owes. Ever the hopeless dreamer, Patrick has a lead on three million dollars in missing money, stolen years ago from banks all over the greater Los Angeles area. The renowned thief, dubbed “Fast Cash” by the media, disappeared years ago and has never been heard from since. His loot was never recovered. Todd is impervious to Cindy’s request. The idea of finding that three mill, though, promises its own motivation. As Todd heads to New York City-Patrick’s last known location--Cindy returns to California, only to find a dead body floating in her pool-along with a load of cash. Someone is trying to make serious trouble for Cindy, and the list of suspects is nearly as long as the L.A. phone book. There’s the widow Cashman, who is only now getting around to having her husband declared legally dead. There’s Beverly Mills of Beverly Hills, a blowsy kind of lady the likes of which high society rarely accepts. There’s Langston Livingston, the cruel loan shark with a penchant for inducing pain. There’s Fred and Barney, partners in life-and crime-who are seemingly available to the highest bidder. Toss in a couple of seasoned L.A. cops, a treasure map marked with an “X,” and a couple of well-kept secrets, and suddenly Todd finds that life in Los Angeles is not as sunny as the press would make it seem. Everyone’s got an agenda.
