Discover your roots with specialist Scottish genealogy research. Whether you are just beginning or have already explored part of your family tree, our professional researchers will trace your Scottish ancestry with accuracy, care, and a deep understanding of Scotland’s historical records.

Based in Scotland and researching on-site at the National Records of Scotland, we give you access to sources that are often beyond the reach of online databases—parish registers, kirk-session minutes, valuation rolls, poor-relief applications, and more. You’ll receive a fully referenced family history report, pedigree chart, and source copies so you can see every piece of evidence for yourself.

Our Scottish genealogist will carry out the entire project using primary sources, ensuring your tree is accurate and professionally documented.

Hire a Professional to Trace Your Scottish Ancestry

Many clients begin by typing **“hire someone to trace my Scottish family tree”** into Google. They quickly discover that genealogy can be complex, time-consuming, and expensive if you purchase the wrong certificates. Our service saves you money and months of frustration by:

* **Pinpointing the correct ancestors first time.**

* **Accessing pay-per-view archives in person**, avoiding costly downloads.

* **Collating every record into one clear, sourced narrative** instead of a jumble of screenshots.

From a single missing link to a six-generation tree, we tailor research to your goals and budget. Typical projects include:

* **Starter Search (2–3 generations)** – perfect for confirming parental and grand-parental lines.

* **Multi-Generation Tree (4–6 generations)** – our most popular package for a deeper dive.

* **Clan & Surname Study** – traces a surname across Scotland to uncover clan links.

* **Emigration Research** – follows Scots who left for Canada, the USA, Australia, and beyond.

Every package includes a digital report, pedigree chart (PDF & GEDCOM), and optional hard-bound booklet.

What Our Scottish Ancestry Research Includes

* **Comprehensive Record Search** – statutory births, marriages, deaths (1855-present), Old Parish Registers, census returns 1841-1921, poor-law, military, wills, and monumental inscriptions.

* **Document Copies & Translations** – we transcribe old Scots handwriting so you don’t have to.

* **Place-by-Place Narrative** – understand where your ancestors lived, worked, and married, complete with historical maps.

* **Clear Source Citations** – each fact is foot-noted for academic rigour.

* **Follow-Up Advice** – guidance on DNA tests, clan societies, and how to keep researching.
