::'''British denization and naturalization records.''' If your ancestor immigrated to Scotland before 1836, check British denization and naturalization. Denization granted limited subject’s rights, and naturalization granted full subject’s rights. However, most foreign settlers did not bother to go through the legal formality and do not appear in these records. Denizations are indexed for the years 1509 to 1873 and naturalizations for 1509 to 1935. The indexes are included in the "Kew Lists," class HO1 (Family History Library {{FHL|942 A3gp|disp=book Ref. 942 A3gp; fiche 6092334-5}}). | ::'''British denization and naturalization records.'''
