Retours of Services of Heirs 1544-1699 Vol A

Focusing on Scottish genealogy and land history, this book compiles essential records from 1544 to 1699 known as Retours of Services of Heirs. These records, often lengthy and in Latin, provide concise abstracts of inheritance and land possession. The indexed format allows for searches by County, surname, and placename, making this a valuable resource for researchers. Enhanced by additional material and a Latin glossary from Dr. Bruce Durie, it opens up access to a largely untapped historical archive.
