Genealogy Research in Scotland
I have worked in and traveled throughout Scotland fornearly 60 years. As a result, I have a close and intimate knowledge of thelocal and national geography, history, place names and people of Scotland.
GENERAL RESEARCH
I undertake all forms of Scottish family research including ancestry, livingrelatives and sighting and copying documents.
ANCESTRY
I can widen your basic family history knowledge by using the records whichare easily accessible and those which are are less well known.
LIVING RELATIVES
"AND SOME STAYED AT HOME - COME FORWARD TO GO BACK."Remember that not all members of a family left Scotland. The present canbe used to find the past by tracing the lines of those who remained in Scotland,down to the present day. This can be extremely rewarding - in human terms andas a means of finding information about early generations, which often cannotbe obtained from the records.
PROBLEM SOLVING SERVICE
I specialise in solving particularly difficult research problems. I have ready accessto the very wide range of records available in Edinburgh and I use them to try tofind ways around difficult problems. Often a problem can be overcome by movingfrom the main research line, taking a different route, and coming back to theoriginal line.
