Books on 9 CD-ROM discs. Originally published 1904-1914. 5,828 pages in 9 volumes.

The most important genealogical reference work for Scottish families.

We are happy to announce the publication on CD-ROM of The Scots Peerage ? without question the most valuable genealogical and historical source available, not only for families holding titles of nobility but also for the innumerable other families who married into those major lines. Each peerage is discussed in detail, with as complete genealogical information as was possible at the time of publication at the beginning of the 20th century.

Each volume is arranged alphabetically by title, beginning with the Kings of Scotland, and then proceeding from the Hamilton Earls of Abercorn through to the Seton Earls of Winton. This massive genealogical effort requires 8 volumes to complete the biographical and genealogical information; a final 9th volume (over 900 pages long) contains an index to all names cited. The Scots Peerage was an incredibly complex, authoritative, and highly respected publication when it first appeared, but it has been out of print now for nearly a century, and is available as used copies only at an extremely substantial price.

We are therefore delighted to be able to offer you this 9-volume set in an affordable CD-ROM version. Everyone working on Scottish genealogy needs this splendid reference work!
