The Scottish Genealogy Blog. Thursday, 30 April 2015. The people behind the names. When you trace your genealogy you research the names, the dates and the places. This has to be step one.

One such group can be found on the fourth floor of the National Library of Scotland (NLS). Talking to the team yesterday, they told me that ...

http://scottishgenealogyblog.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-kelso-dispensary.html
The Scottish Genealogy Blog. Tuesday, 21 April 2015. For the majority of people in 1777 there was no proper health care.

This meant that of course there was high infant mortality, and countless families left to rely on the parish for poor relief when the man of the house was taken ill, or died. Programme.
