As Scottish Ancestral Research is located in the West of Scotland,
it is particularly well placed to make use of the area's records
which are not available anywhere else.  

These include
  • Monumental or gravestone inscriptions
  • Poor relief records
  • Nonconformist church records
  • Burial registers
  • Newspapers
  • Electoral registers
  • Valuation rolls
  • Street and trade directories
  • Education records
  • Health archives
  • Business archives
Other available sources include census, civil and religious records.

They are available at
  •  The Mitchell Library, Glasgow
  •   The National Archives of Scotland, Edinburgh
and other local record respositories.


Please contact me if you would like to find out more about these
sources and how they can help track down your ancestors, or if you
have any questions about the kinds of records that might be used to
find them.
