Extended Family Tree – Full Multi-Branch Research
The Extended Tree package offers the most comprehensive Scottish ancestry research available. Designed for clients who want to explore every branch of their family tree in full detail, this service traces multiple family lines across 6 or more generations. It’s ideal for those with a strong interest in Scottish heritage, clan history, or legacy preservation.
Whether you're building a family archive, writing a memoir, or creating a keepsake for future generations, the Extended Tree provides a deep, thoroughly researched genealogy report that reflects the complexity and richness of your roots. This is a multi-lineage project, meaning I investigate both maternal and paternal branches, and where relevant, lateral lines such as siblings, cousins, or step-relatives.
Your research journey begins with a consultation to discuss your known family history, goals, and specific questions or gaps you’d like explored. From there, I access official Scottish sources including:
- Scotland’s People database
- Statutory registers (birth, marriage, death)
- Old Parish Registers
- Census returns
- Emigration and travel records
- Probate and wills
- Historical directories
- Graveyard inscriptions and poor law records
All findings are carefully cross-verified, and you’ll receive a fully referenced report that includes every record used. The report is structured in an easy-to-follow format, with detailed family tree charts, generation-by-generation summaries, and background on each location or historical context that shaped your ancestors’ lives.
What’s included:
- A full digital family tree covering 6+ generations
- A multi-branch PDF report (30+ pages depending on complexity)
- Commentary on each ancestral line
- Highlighted stories, records, and findings of note
- Scanned source documents where available
- Optional printed version (professionally bound, add-on cost)
- Suggestions for further research or tour options
Clients often use this package to:
- Build a heritage book for their children or grandchildren
- Understand complex family lines with mixed Scottish and Irish ancestry
- Discover unknown branches or long-lost relatives
- Apply for clan societies, dual citizenship, or heritage visas
- Plan a custom tour of ancestral towns and parishes across Scotland
I’ve been researching family history since 2012 and have completed projects for clients around the world — from Scotland and England to Australia, Canada, and the United States. My work is rooted in evidence, not assumptions. Every name added to your tree comes with real documentation and an explanation of how it fits.
Turnaround time for this level of research is typically 4–6 weeks depending on availability of records and the number of branches requested. Interim updates can be provided if you’d like progress reports along the way.
Want to take your family history even further? I can help coordinate a bespoke ancestry tour through [Kay’s Cabs](https://www.kayscabs.co.uk), visiting the places your ancestors lived, worked, or were laid to rest. This is a powerful and emotional experience that brings your story to life — whether it’s visiting a Highland village, a coastal kirk, or a gravestone in a rural Scottish parish.
If you’re ready to uncover every layer of your heritage, the Extended Tree is the perfect choice. I’d be delighted to answer any questions before we begin — or you can go ahead and place your order to get started.
Your legacy deserves to be remembered in full.
