Family History Services
If you need help with your family history research, help with a brick wall or you would like me to do all of the work for you, then this is where you want to be. I offer a number of affordable packages as well as hourly rated family history services at £25 per hour.
Family Tree Packages
I offer Family History Packages to suit your budget. These can be from basic family tree reports with transcribed records to more comprehensive illustrative reports. They can include mini biographies and local history or observations that shed light on their residence, occupancy and death.
Solve A Family Mystery Or Break Through A Brick Wall
What happens when your research comes to a standstill? Or you want a family mystery solved? I can help you plan, organize or simply verify your research and suggest areas you can explore.
This can be done by skype, facetime, telephone or e-mail, or in person in Perthshire, Fife or Edinburgh.
Transcribe & Translate An Old Document
If you are struggling to read the handwriting from old Scottish documents, I can help you understand the document by transcribing it. I have experience in palaeography so if you get stuck reading a Scottish record, or simply a word or place I can help you.
