Scottish Archives Network Practice |
Charles Scott Olgilvie served in the Scottish military and was recorded on the War Trust Roll of honor. Locate the entry regarding his service from "The Scots at War" site and answer the following questions:
- Though he was born in Scotland, what other countries might we look for records in to learn more about Charles?
- What was his birth and death date?
- What other record types might this information lead to?
- In the Scottish Archives Network, enter "Heath" as the surname and click the button to submit the information.
- The Heath family record will be the only one to appear. Read the record and answer the research questions.
- The couple resided in the Keistle residence, Lord Mcdonald estate, Snizort parish, and Inverness county.
- They were headed to Sydney (Australia) on the Ontario ship.
- The note at the end of the record mentions that Mr. Heath appeared to be healthy, but Mrs. Heath looked old and seemed to be suffering from want (hunger).
