FINDMYPAST FRIDAY: New and exclusive Scottish records and photos

Discover your Scots clan and its amazing story in this week’s new records

Over a quarter of a million new Scottish records and 11 brand new newspapers are available to search this Findmypast Friday, including;

Scotland, Burgess & Guild Brethren Index

This fascinating collection of occupation records has been updated with over 60,000 new additions. This includes over 22,000 new Edinburgh Burgesses and Guild Brethren records as well as thousands of new records published in association with the Trades House of Glasgow, including Burgess Rolls 1846-1950, Incorporation of Masons of Glasgow Members 1574-1950, Glasgow Maltmen 1605-1879, Glasgow Barbers 1899 and much more.

These amazing records date from the 1200s all the way up to the 1970s. In them researchers can unlock details surrounding Scotland’s medieval burgesses – a minority of powerful merchants and craftsmen who controlled their burghs.

Scotland, Banffshire & Moray Life Events

Explore over 250,000 birth, baptism, marriage, death and burial records in three new collections from North East Scotland. As well as searching all three vital collections at once, you can delve into each one separately:

Birth, baptism, marriage, death and burial records not only reveal the details of milestone events in your family’s past, they’re also the building blocks of every family tree. The names, dates and locations found in these records could help you take the next step on your Scottish family history journey.
