Join us for an informative workshop with Ontario Ancestors and learn to uncover your Scottish roots through historical records.
This session offers a comprehensive introduction for family historians, focusing on tracing your family through civil registrations, census records, parish and church records, and poor law and relief records. Participants will learn to locate historical maps, understand emigration patterns, and utilize old newspapers for valuable insights. This workshop will also explore wills, testaments, and military records, providing a deeper understanding of ancestors' lives and contributions. By the end, participants will have the skills and tools to uncover and document their Scottish roots.
