As well as being a manual for the researcher into Scottish family history, this study is itself a history of the family as it has developed in Scotland from the clans to the present day. The author suggests that a broader approach to the study of the family can be a way of examining more general themes in history as they impinge on individuals within the local community. Drawing on the work of anthropologists, historians and human geographers, he details the erosion of the institution of the family by socio-economic pressure. In so doing he provides the background necessary for the family historian to pursue his or her own research into the lives of ancestors and forebears. Various sources and techniques for search are discussed, such as parliamentary reports, memoirs, kirk session minutes as well as the use of oral recording and more indirect approaches are suggested.

Seller's Description:
New. This work advocates a broader, more searching approach to family history than mere genealogy. Based on the author's experience as a local history librarian in the East Lothian district of Scotland, he examines the Scottish family in relation to the great movements of local history, while providing instruction on the sources and techniques needed for successful family history research. Trades, professions, religions, clans and surnames, migration and emigration, labor and industry, kin and community--all are dealt with in the intimate context of family history. So, too, are the conventional sources of genealogical data such as church records, memoirs, and government records. A manual for the researcher into family history, this is also a history of the family as it has developed in Scotland from the time of the clans to the present day. This work is both scholarly and readable. See also the companion book Scottish Local History.
