TheGenealogist has announced the release of new historic landowner records, which include Feet of Fines, the Index of Sasines, and the Scotland Record Office Index to Register of Deeds. These records provide a valuable resource for individuals researching their ancestry.
Family history research often involves examining military records to uncover the service details of ancestors who served in the British Army. One of the key resources in this area is the officially published Army Lists, which provide detailed information about officers and warrant officers, including their ranks, regiments, and service appointments.
Feet of Fines
Feet of Fines offer insights into historical land transactions, typically involving the transfer of property rights. These documents, used in English legal proceedings from the 13th century onward, provide detailed information about the parties involved, property descriptions, and the dates of the agreements.
Index of Sasines
Sasines are legal documents that confirm land and property ownership, reflecting the transfer of ownership in Scotland from the 16th century onward. This index enables users to quickly access key information about property ownership.
Scotland Record Office Index to Register of Deeds
This comprehensive index provides access to a wide range of legal documents relating to property and inheritance in Scotland, further enhancing the available resources for genealogical research.
