Introduction
When we talk about family history we are thinking back beyond the visible horizon
of living memory. We are contemplating those countless individuals who came
before us and who, whether we know it or not, helped to fashion us into who and
what we are today. Researching ones family history has become increasingly
popular in recent years as people begin to look beyond living memory trying to
find some connection with this hidden past.
The Scottish people have over the ages spread across the world, settling thousands
of miles away from their small but cherished homeland. Many tens of millions of
people worldwide can claim some descent from this bold and adventurous people
who bravely crossed the oceans to begin a new life in their own ‘Promised Land’.
Scotland is renowned for the quality and quantity of her written records that in
some cases survive from the 16th century. Scotland, unlike many other parts of
the world, has been more or less settled for some centuries and as a result many
different types of records have survived the ravages of time.
If you have any Scottish ancestors then there is every chance that you could find
out all sorts of fascinating facts about them from state and church records. You
might be able to prove or disprove that long-standing family legend that has made
you wonder since you were a child.
There are many people who are interested in their family history but who are not
able to undertake a lengthy genealogical investigation. It may be that they are far
too busy to dedicate enough time to family history research or it might be that
they live too far from Scotland to carry out extensive research. Regardless of the
reason if you would like to be brought closer to your Scottish roots then have a
look at our services.
