  Searching your Scottish family tree

• Research is carried out using records held within New Register House, Edinburgh
• It takes at least eight hours to complete most straightforward family history searches
• Depending on the complexity of the search, more time may be required
• I will also bring to your attention any additional information linked to your family ancestry, but cannot be verified
• At the end of my research you will receive a detailed ancestral report as a PDF file
• In addition to the free Adobe PDF report file, at additional cost, you can also choose to have your family tree presented in a 3D page turning ebook.

  Free preliminary consultation

Initial consultation is free. After assessing your research aims and completing any  preliminary searches I will contact you to arrange payment of non-returnable deposit. 

  How to pay

• Credit/debit card via PayPal. To pay, go to this website's "Payment" page
• Personal cheque drawn on a UK bank made payable to "Scottish Family Roots". For mailing address please click here.

  Choose a family line to be searched

You can choose to have your father’s line (paternal) or mother’s line (maternal) searched. Searching family lines separately as opposed to concurrently will produce a more comprehensive ancestral report. Although possible, attempting to trace both family lines during the same seach period may well produce an abridged report and is not recommended. Your second family line can always be searched at a later date.  

  Information required to start family search

• An individual's name 
• Their date-of-birth
• As soon as you agree to the research you will be given a search start date 

Helpful information: Place-of-birth / Date-of-marriage / Date-of-death / Place-of-death
