Scottish
Ministers from the Fasti Ecclesiae Scoticanae.
Numerous
generations from every corner of the globe have Scottish blood in their
veins many of them from ministers of Scottish ancestry, contained in
this Genealogical web site there are over eight hundred pages of ministers
and their families, I hope while you are browsing through the “Fasti
Ecclesiae Scoticanae” you come across one or two Scottish ancestors
of your own. All of my direct Scottish ancestors came from East Lothian
and quite a few of them were ministers, at the beginning of my investigation
into my family tree I never thought where it might take me nor did I
think it would consume much of my time, twenty incredible years have
past and I am still tracing my Scottish ancestors it is hard to believe
that so much time has gone by. I was surprised to discover that these
ministers not only educated the poor but a few of them taught the children
of affluent and aristocratic Scottish families, some of my family from
past times who became ministers did so in the belief and hope that they
would get away from poverty, regrettably many of these ministers never
achieve their dreams. A number of Ministers who were ordained in Scotland
were appointed by their own family members who were also Scottish ministers
so as to keep the clergy in the family; I have read volumes I and II
of the Fasti Ecclesiae Scoticanae many times and still find them captivating,
countless ministers of the different Scottish parishes married their
predecessors daughters of the parish they were ordained to. A few of these ministers married more than once; there are those who married into wealthy families, reading between the lines I would say a few of these ministers married not for the love of a woman but for the love of money.
