People of the Scottish Burghs

This book is based overwhelmingly on primary sources--including testaments bonds sasines and tacks--found mainly in the National Archives of Scotland in Edinburgh and to a lesser extent the Stirling Archives. The sources have yielded the following bits of information on the alphabetically arranged inhabitants: name occupation name of a next of kin (spouse father etc.) the kind of record and the source. In all Dr. Dobson has brought to light valuable information on 1400 residents of Stirling that would otherwise have eluded genealogists for many more years.
