Findmypast Friday: Step Into Your Scottish Roots

  I received this information from Findmypast today:

==========================================


Step into your Scottish roots with new Findmypast records

Thousands of new and exclusive records for Scotland added this Findmypast Friday

Scotland, Poor Law & Lists

We’ve added 16,820 records into this collection, which span from 1816 to 1901. With records for Inverness, Wick, Dreghorn and Perthshire, you may uncover key details about your ancestor’s circumstances. You might spot your ancestor’s residence and occupation, plus details of disabilities and their financial situation. This collection now has over 120,000 records to explore.

Scotland, Occupations & Professions

A further 16,000 records have been added to this collection. They come from various sources and reach back into the 16th century. You may find clues about ancestors who were shopkeepers, seafarers, writers, surgeons, and merchants.
