He details their purpose and the information recorded, the legal basis by which they were created, and where to find them both online and within Scotland's many archives and institutions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chris Paton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526768429\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526768421\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pen and Sword Family History\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/27\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Chris Paton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44080304783615,"sku":"9781526768421","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_334382ef-4881-4d0c-ba12-29b7fd2ae695.jpg?v=1685486077","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tracing-your-scottish-ancestry-through-chris-paton-9781526768421","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
