From book: Scottish genealogical research has some unique characteristics. Until the Act of Union in 1707, Scotland had its own parliament and its own legal system. The latter remains distinctly different to this day, and, over the centuries, has produced many records which have no couterpart in England or Wales. It is particularly important that researchers of Scottish family history give some time and attention to identifying and understanding these differences. Equally important is some knowledge of Scottish history, taking note of patterns of migration to North America.

Foreword

There was a lad was born in Kyle, [central Ayr]
But whatna day o'whatna style,
I doubt it's hardly worth the while,
To be sae nice wi' Robin.

Robin was a rovin' boy—
Rantin' rovin', rantin' rovin'
Rantin' rovin' Robin!


Our monarch's hindmost year but ane
Was five-and-twenty days begun,
'Twas then a blast o' Jan'war' win'
Blew hansel in on Robin. [a first gift]

In these opening stanzas of his autobiographical song—which admirers of the National Bard all over the world sing with fervor—Burns has indicated just when he was born: in effect, 25 January 1759 (the last year of George II's reign). He also draws attention to a factor which genealogists may at times have to consider: the "style" or method of reckoning dates—in ths case because of the differences between the Julian ("Old Style") and Gregorian ("New Style") calendars.
Introduction

Can there really be a need for another book on Scottish genealogical research? The answer is yes. I can repeat here what I stated in the introduction to my first book (Your English Ancestry: A Guide for North Americans), " . . . none of the books I have read focuses on a logical research routine for family historian based in North America."
1 ● Prudent Preliminaries

A young Scotsman of your ability let loose upon the world with £300, what could he not do? It's almost appalling to think of; especially if he went among the English. (J. M. Barrie, What Every Woman Knows)

A scan through the volumes of national biography for the United States, Canada, and many other nations reveals a high proportion of entries for men and women whose origins were in Scotland. Many of them started with a good deal less than £300. If some measure of determination, thrift, and ambition is lurking in the character of all of you of Scottish descent, then you have the essential qualifications for genealogical research. Add a thirst for knowledge and a dose of common sense and you will do even better.
