A little fast to make notes, esp of links – but excellent info Christine, thank you
A wealth of information.
Absolutely fantastic!
awesome
Because my most recent Scottish ancestors left Scotland for America in the 1830s or 1840s, I would have liked to have more reference to the applicable dates for many of the resources. The late 19th century and 20th century resources are less applicable for my genealogical research.
Brilliant, thank you. Learned lots.

Great webinar but pace was way to fast for all the information given
Great webinar with all subjects well covered. born and still living in Scotland I can recommend this webinar to all.
Great Webinar, and I appreciate Christine sharing her email address as I have never been able to find any record of G G G Grandfather’s drowning, so will email and see if she has any suggestions for where any record may be.. Good job, all.
Great webinar, just too long
Great, as usual. Went by too fast!!
Great. Would like to see more Scotland webinars from her.
Heard of some new sources that I hadn’t considered.
Hope she will present more webinars. Very good.
I don’t have any Scottish ancestors that I know of, but the speaker was fantastic. She talked about things like occupations which will be valuable for understanding my ancestors. Please bring this speaker back often!
I find it so interesting to learn the historical “tidbits” that come out, making me want to learn more. Thanks!!!!
I have hints of some ancestors being from Scotland. These resources are great and hope to use them as I learn more about my folks. And I am more and more interested in touring Scotland in future!!! Thank you!
I was looking for older Scottish records. She offers many good sources for the records after the 1800a.
I wish she could have spoken a little more slowly. It was great information, but I feel as if I have just run a marathon!
If I could give it a higher rating I would.
Invaluable information and links.
It covered a time period way too late for my Scottish ancestors, but was great all the same.
It was good but unfortunately didn’t focus on the parts of Scotland my ancestors come from or their occupations.
Just started Scottish research and this was an amazing presentation!
Lots of good info
Lots of info but rather fast..
lots of information, thanks
lots of websites, great thanks. would have linked some time spent on each.
Loved hearing all about Scotland
loved presentation but missed some websites.
man is she good, great presentation
More examples of what documents look like would have been beneficial to help us determine what they contain, especially for the pay per view sites
Other than she went too fast, it was fantastic! Just wanted to look at some slides a bit longer so will have to watch replay. Grateful it is available 🙂
Packed with useful information
Please talk a little slower. (I know you’re excited about your subject)
Presenter spoke soooo fast it was hard to take notes! But really interesting …..
Really interesting, thank you.
Screens too fast to copy down the websites. Great amount of info, though.
She covered a lot, thank you, however, speaking a bit slower would be nice. Listening was exhausting!
She is always great. Most comprehensive presentation on Scottish Resources I have experienced.
So many interesting details of Scottish history, people and culture. Absolutely fascinating. I hated to have the presentation end.
So much great info. Great and informative speaker.
So much great information on the standard sources but more important new places to look for detailed info
So much helpful information!!. Will keep me busy long after the pandemic is over.
so much information
So much information in a short time. But all listings of online sites is appreciated.
So much information! Great description of resources, how to use them, and their strengths and limitations.
Some of the website links just zipped by.

The multiple websites to check for scottish anscestors was helpful and I will start with scotlandspeople. The speaker did a great job moving through all the info.
The presenter knows her stuff. She packed in a lot of information that I have not read in any books. I would love to see future webinars from her.
The presenter is terrific. She sounds excited to share what she’s learned, she goes at a rapid pace but thankfully the URL’s are listed on the handout! She is knowledgeable and expressive about her subject. Thank you for having her.

Very interesting conference and so many references. Greatly appreciated. Thank you very much

Understanding and Using Scottish Kirk Session Records
Scottish Kirk Session records have recently come online at ScotlandsPeople. Learn what they represent within the Scottish court process, how they operated and what you will find in the records. Understand how to identify the records needed, how to search and where to go next.

Known in their homeland as Ulster-Scots, these mainly Lowland Scots left their homeland and settled in Ulster during the Plantation, sometimes staying only for a few generations and then many made their way to the New World. Why did these Scots come to Ulster and why did they then subsequently leave? What were the push and pull factors? Why did Presbyterian ministers have such sway over these people? We will look at the perils they faced on their transatlantic journey and what they found when they arrived in the new world. We will examine the range of records and sources where you may find your Ulster-Scots ancestors and that can tell you more about this pioneering ethnic group that produced a number of US Presidents and millions of descendants worldwide today.

Everyone from Scotland is in a Clan, right? Wrong. The Clan was a phenomenon of only certain parts of Scotland, and not the majority. Is your surname associated with a Highland or Borders Clan or a Lowlands Family? If so, what can you do about it?

Have you noticed that the given names of our eighteenth and nineteenth century English, Scottish, Irish and Welsh ancestors were drawn from a surprisingly small pool? But how small a pool? How common were our ancestors' given names? More importantly, how rare were the less common names? Lists of the most common 10, 20, 50 or 100 names are surprisingly unhelpful unless they include frequency statistics. For example, Jeremiah, was ranked 26th in England in the 1800s but the most useful information is its frequency; it was carried by only one man in 500. Most villages had fewer than 500 males at that time. This webinar focuses on given name popularities, changes in popularity, and the reasons for such changes. It also covers spelling variants, abbreviations, and diminutives. For example, if you don't know that Polly was a diminutive of Mary or that Nellie was a diminutive of Ellen and Eleanor and Helen, you might struggle to find entries for your ancestors. Our ancestors' given names and surnames are the gateways into our family history research. Learning more about their names may prove useful in determining their ancestry or finding other family connections.
