About Me – Scottish Family History with a Personal Touch
Hello, I’m Christopher – the researcher behind My Family History. Since 2012, I’ve been helping people discover their Scottish roots through detailed ancestry research. What started as a passion project soon became a dedicated service for friends, relatives, and clients across the world. Each tree I build is rooted in accuracy, respect, and a deep love for uncovering real family stories.
Why I Chose Scottish Genealogy
Scotland has a rich and complex history, with well-preserved records that can reveal incredible insights into your family’s past. My own heritage sparked a fascination with surnames, parish records, and old census documents. Over time, this led me to assist others with tracing their lineage, building family trees, and identifying long-lost ancestors.
What I Offer – Professional Genealogy Services
I provide three core family tree packages based on your needs: the Starter Tree (3 generations), the Detailed Tree (4–6 generations), and the Extended Tree (multi-branch research). Each tree is carefully constructed using a mix of online databases, original documents, and national/local archives to ensure high accuracy. I’ll provide you with a full report, digital and printed charts, and a summary of key findings.
Based in Scotland – Trusted Worldwide
Although I’m based in Scotland, I work with clients from across the UK, the USA, Canada, Australia, and beyond. Scottish ancestry is global, and I make it accessible to anyone with roots in the Highlands, Lowlands, or Islands. Whether you’re exploring a single family name or mapping out an entire lineage, I tailor the research to your goals and budget.
Ancestry Tours – Explore Where Your Ancestors Lived
I also offer optional ancestry-based tours through my other business, Kay’s Cabs. These guided private hire tours are perfect for anyone visiting Scotland who wants to walk in their ancestors’ footsteps. Using your research findings, I can plan custom routes to ancestral villages, old homesteads, burial grounds, or local landmarks tied to your family name.
My Research Approach
Each family is unique, and so is the research process. I start with your known relatives, then trace back using verified records – births, marriages, deaths, censuses, and more. If information is missing, I’ll flag it and look for alternative sources. All findings are fully documented so you can continue building your story with confidence.

Whether you're curious about your ancestry or want to give a meaningful gift to a loved one, I’d be honoured to help. With over a decade of experience and a strong reputation for quality research, I’ll work hard to bring your family story to life.
