Starter Family Tree – Trace 3 Generations of Scottish Ancestry
This entry-level Scottish family tree package is perfect if you're just starting your genealogy journey or looking for a thoughtful family gift. We trace your ancestry back through **three generations** on either your paternal or maternal side — using verified records and a personalised approach tailored to your family.
Your ancestry will be carefully traced using verified Scottish records to create a reliable 3-generation starter tree.
Each Starter Tree includes researched details for:
- You or your chosen starting individual
- Their parents (Generation 2)
- Their grandparents (Generation 3)
It’s a great way to begin exploring your Scottish heritage, especially if you're unsure how to get started or have limited initial information. Even with just a surname and a location, we can uncover valuable details and help you take your first steps into the past.
### What’s included in this package:
- Full names, birth/marriage/death details (where records are available)
- Occupations and places of residence
- Names of siblings (if relevant and traceable)
- Source references for official records
- An easy-to-read digital PDF report
Your Starter Tree is manually compiled by a professional genealogist with over a decade of experience in Scottish family history research. Based in Scotland, we use only **official records** — including statutory registrations, census records, and parish archives — to ensure accuracy. We never rely on automated software, AI tools, or speculative online trees.
This product is a great fit for:
- Individuals who want a professionally researched foundation before tackling further genealogy themselves
- Those seeking a cost-effective way to confirm family links or surnames
- People preparing for a heritage trip to Scotland and wanting a simple ancestral profile
- Anyone gifting a bespoke family tree for a birthday, retirement, or Father’s/Mother’s Day
If you’re unsure whether this is the right option, we’re happy to help. Send us whatever details you already know — such as full name, approximate dates, or location — and we’ll advise on the best way forward. In many cases, we can help even with minimal information, thanks to our familiarity with Scottish record systems.
Your digital report is delivered in 10–14 working days and can be emailed worldwide. The file is perfect for sharing with family or printing at home, and we offer upgrade options if you later decide to continue your research with a 4–6 generation tree or printed wall chart.
All research is 100% private and secure. We operate in full compliance with GDPR and treat all information with care and respect.
