I was a scientist in a former life; now I am a family historian, researcher and writer. I have researched and written about several branches of my own family, and I love helping others with their genealogy research. Most of my ancestors were Scots from Aberdeenshire, Stirlingshire and Ayrshire, but my genealogical journeys have also taken me to the Caribbean, the US, Canada and Australia.
On this site you will find various articles about my ancestors and the times in which they lived. I also post sources and sites that have been helpful to me in the course of my research.
