This book is intended for those searching for their roots in the North East of Scotland. In the last 30 years there has been a tremendous growth of interest in family history research. This led, in January 1987, to the opening of the Aberdeen and North East Scotland Family History Society's premises.
There you can research your north east roots and your roots in other parts of the world.
This publication is a guide to the sources available to the researcher in the north east of Scotland. First published in 1987, this guide is now in its fifth edition, with all addresses and details being updated and revised if needed. Includes maps and contact details (including email and website where applicable).
