Obtaining a DNA report with information about your ancestry is easily arranged these days. Unfortunately, the DNA information supplied is very general and only provides details of ancestral ethnic areas. To really know our ancestors, we must research our family history to uncover the stories: the achievements, the tragedies, happiness and sorrow. In this book, I have attempted to not only document my Scottish heritage but also record some of the family stories that I have uncovered during my research. Although the relevant facts, dates and places resulting from research are all necessary components of ancestral history, it's the stories that provide a real insight into our ancestral past.Of course, this type of project is never complete because there are always mysteries to solve, leads to follow and gaps to fill. Hopefully, some young enthusiastic descendant will take on this task.

Third in the series, the author provides more "Children's Address" material for use by ministers in church, or by teachers during school assemblies. Containing sufficient material for a year, this is a practical resource which includes a feature on "The Family Service".

Legal terminology need not be intimidating or obscure. This is the ideal introduction to the meaning of the core vocabulary which confronts anyone approaching the study of Law for the first time. It includes clear explanations of Latin words and phrases. The 2nd edition has been thoroughly updated and revised throughout.
