There is nothing better to understanding Scottish sources than to show them in a working case study. When we talk about carrying out research we should consider our timelines to include milestones from the cradle to the grave.
This presentation will demonstrate a timeline on the Samuels of Midlothian, bringing together primary sources to allow the research to progress. It is important to be aware of all possible key times in an ancestors life as each has the potential to lead on to further research and provide documented proof as evidence.
