We are based in the Kingdom of Fife and are less than an hour from Edinburgh where most of the records are kept. We also have close links with Galloway and have a great deal of information regarding that area.

Ancestral Photography

For many a visit to Scotland is not an option, so I can take photos of some of the places your ancestors lived. The kind of photographs I can take are:

bullet

The house that your ancestors were born/lived/died in.

bullet

The village/town where their house was situated.

bullet

The school they attended.

bullet

The Church they were married in.

bullet

The gravestone marking where they were buried and a transcription.

There is of course no guarantee that all the the above will be there but I will try my best and also take notes of anything I think may be relevant.       

Archives & Libraries

There is a huge amount of material in archives and libraries, including newspapers, which is not available on-line. Let us have your ancestors names and areas where they lived and I will research them for you.

Monumental Inscriptions

These can be of great interest in locating an ancestor. Recently I found a gravestone in Leuchars. This was for an American client, and on the gravestone was mention of a great uncle who had died in South Africa, the family did not know he existed. It gave the date and place of his death.

Extra Information & Research

You may have details of something else you would like photographed or investigated - just let me know and I will do my best to find out about them. If you do not wish to undertake researching your family tree I am happy to do that for you.
