Ancestral Visit

You have traced your family and are now coming to Scotland. Let us help plan your trip to your ancestral home.  We can, prior to your journey, visit the home or gravestone of your ancestor and see what is there to visit. That way, when you come to Scotland you will know exactly where to go and what you will see. Time is normally an issue, so you don't want to spend a day looking for something that isn't there. We find that our clients are always on a tight schedule! If we can make things easier for you we are delighted to do so. We can arrange to meet you to discuss your research when you arrive and give you as much advice as possible to set you on your ancestral trail.  We can also meet up with you in Edinburgh and accompany you to New Register House to continue your research.  Our price is £20 per hour. Let us know what you want and we can give you an estimate.

If you can't visit then let us take some photos of your ancestor's home or grave and send them to you by email or on CD.

 Research

With the increasing amount of information on-line, eg OPRs, census records, wills etc, the main research we do is actually with more modern records which you can't access. For example births after 1907, marriages after 1932 and deaths after 1956. However, let us know what research you wish undertaken and we can give an estimate. We also have access to a large amount of monumental inscriptions, in particular for Wigtownshire
