Edinburgh Gazette

The Gazette is an incredible resource!! Especially now, since it has been digitized for the 21st century. Apparently it was recently revamped, top to bottom. They've got a couple of excellent videos that explain what it's all about.

What is it?


How do you search it?


I've only scratched the surface using the search, but I got three hits for Kisielius right away. It looks like two Kisielius brother were involved in baking. I've come across Varpas before, I believe. And I've certainly come across Vincent and Anthony, though I've never conclusively linked them to the family. I'll need to see what I can turn up.

Varpas Baking Company

It appears that a couple years later "Anthony" (Antanas) became a naturalized British citizen. Maybe I can request naturalization records.

Naturalization, 1931

And finally, on 22 October 1935, there's something about a "Trust Deed" that I don't understand. The notice is written by G.C. Paterson, and says that Anthony granted the deed. Is he the creditor? Or is he the debtor?
