I love the tartan background! This is an excellent resource list, and good for you for including the Family Search wiki. I feel like folks sometimes forget to look there, but it really is helpful. 4/27/2023 05:33:39 am
Thank you, and yes, the FamilySearch Wiki is almost always included and is a must for a genealogy resource. :) 4/26/2023 02:58:36 pm

I highly recommend using Family Search before you make a trip to gather records in Scotland. The Church of Later Day Saints has collected and indexed records more diligently than archives in the old country. I had a specific list of documents to secure before I went to the old country and the archivist was amazed that I knew about items in the collection at Forres he had no index for. 5/2/2023 05:11:17 am
Yes, FamilySearch is always a great place to start before anywhere else and should be a go-to. :) Comments are closed.
