This site presents Harold & Barbara's family tree. We started with our grandparents and worked back to the 18th century, and even to a few ancestors in the 17th century. Thus there are 8 branches of the family, and each has its own section on the site. There are 600 individuals in this site.
The site has been updated regularly since 2003, usually twice a year. It is evolving gradually. Initially, we had the bare facts of Births, Marriages, Deaths and Censuses. Most of our direct ancestors for whom there are records are now on the site and our focus has moved to providing pictures and articles.
We have had a lot of help from cousins, both existing and newly found through our research. We are very grateful to Linda, Eileen, Irene, Bill, Brian, Carolyne, Greta, Anne and Rochelle for sharing their research and material with us.
We would be delighted to hear from you, whether you know something that we do not, or are wondering if we can help you with your search for ancestors.
We live in Edinburgh and we were both born in Scotland, though we met in London. Our ancestors are mostly Scottish and there is a Swedish branch. We have also found a couple of links to Ireland. We can trace the movement of our ancestors from farming, fishing and quarrying in small villages to industry in towns and cities. We may have met in London, but we have common connections to rural Angus / Forfarshire and The Mearns of old Kincardineshire.
Our main areas of interest are Gothenburg in Sweden, Ayrshire, Perthshire, Arbroath and Auchmithie, Aberdeenshire including old Kincardineshire and The Mearns.
We would like to hear from you if you have similar interests.
We hope you enjoy our work and find the site useful.
