Scotland 1750-1850 - Beyond the Old Parish Registers course

The next Scotland 1750-1850: Beyond the Old Parish Registers course from Pharos Teaching and Tutoring Ltd (www.pharostutors.com) starts in a couple of weeks time on Wednesday May 14th 2014, and will run for five weeks. The course costs £45.99 and covers the following slightly more advanced topics than the previous Scottish Research Online course:

• Kirk Sessions records and parish poor
• Burgh records and town poor
• Occupations, taxation and early lists
• Land transfer and the value of sasines
• Land, inheritance and estates

There's a more full description at http://pharostutors.com/details.php?coursenumber=302 where you can also sign up. To give a flavour of what to expect, here's the video I recorded before the last course was run in November last year (so ignore the dates!):

It's usually a lot of fun, and definitely informative if you're looking to progress your knowledge of he Scottish records a bit further -  hopefully I'll see a few of you there!
