Multi-Generation Family Trees
Looking for a deeper view of your Scottish ancestry? Our multi-generation family tree service is perfect for tracing your direct-line heritage back four to six generations — or further, if records allow.
Based in Scotland, we access the official archives in person to trace your family through births, marriages, deaths, census returns, and more. You’ll receive a detailed family tree, fully sourced and professionally presented, showing how your ancestors lived, moved, and grew across the generations.
Each tree is carefully researched and referenced, giving you a clear and trustworthy family history.
Trace 4–6 Generations of Scottish Ancestry
This package is ideal if you want to explore your Scottish roots in depth, either for yourself, as a gift, or to pass on to future generations.
Each tree follows one of three formats:
- **Paternal Line Tree** – follows father → grandfather → great-grandfather and so on
- **Maternal Line Tree** – follows mother → grandmother → great-grandmother etc.
- **Dual Line Tree** – covers both parents, tracing back along each side
You’ll receive a full narrative report, a visual pedigree chart, and scanned source images for every fact — all neatly compiled and easy to understand.
What’s Included in the Multi-Generation Tree Package
- Research from present day back 4–6 generations
- Use of statutory records (1855–present), Old Parish Registers (pre-1855), and census returns (1841–1921)
- Transcriptions of old handwritten records

- Family group sheets and relationship notes
- PDF report and pedigree chart
- Optional printed booklets or hard-bound versions available
Why Choose a Professional Family Tree Service?
Our research is fully sourced, accurate, and explained step-by-step. Unlike online trees, we never guess or copy others' mistakes. We:
- Confirm every record with evidence
- Explain gaps or uncertain links transparently
- Provide clear references and document copies
- Tailor the tree to your goals (emigration, surname study, ancestral village, etc.)
We work closely with you throughout the project to ensure the final result is both meaningful and historically accurate.

FAQ
**How many generations can you trace?**
Most trees go back 4–6 generations, but earlier is possible if records survive. We always explain the limits in advance.
**Can you trace both sides of my family?**
Yes. We offer single-line or dual-line trees depending on your preference and budget.
**Do I need to supply documents first?**
Not necessarily. We can work from basic info like names, locations, or a family story. Scans help but are not essential.
**Can I gift this service to someone else?**
Yes — trees make meaningful gifts. We can include presentation folders or custom covers for printed copies.
