Excellent organization & presentation. I have ancestors who were elders & church staff. At least 3 generations of men.
Hi Sara I have only gone as far as my great grandparents McEwan, was a soldier paternal Grand Mother lived in a little house in a small village, dont have the name of village.
Excellent content and presentation! I had just begun to look at these records and now I have a much better idea of how to proceed!
Well researched and presented. Speaker is easy to listen to and understand.
Seems in many cases Kirk Sessions mirror U S Court sessions to this day!
Very informative and much easier to understand than just teading about the records
Great content and tips on how best to use ScotlandsPeople and other websites. I learned a great deal in this session.
Another great webinar day full of info. Thank you so much for all that you do
