Jock Tamson's Bairns: A history of the records of the General Register Office for Scotland
Cecil Sinclair

This new work by the author of the best-selling publication Tracing Your Scottish Ancestors, is an illustrated history of the Scottish old parish registers (1553-1854), statutory registers of births, deaths and marriages (from 1855), and 19th century census records. It is not another guide to searching your family tree but should appeal to those with an interest in family, local or social history and provide the reader with a better understanding of these important records of Scotland's past.
