Pedigrees of families of Scottish baronets.

 File
Identifier: Adv.MS.15.1.21
Scope and Contents The pedigrees are alphabetically arranged beginning with Abercrombie, but going only as far as Dunbar, with several leaves left blank for the intended insertion of the pedigrees of the families recorded at the top of the leaf.
