Welcome to TS Ealasaid !

As a matter of interest, as your details don't show your location (fear not, it's not compulsory :wink: ) which local library?

I've just been told about this site from a contact at Rootschat as well. :)

I wish I'd known about this place a year ago. I have several Scottish brick walls. :(

Hi there Orkney Liz and welcome to the forum. I hope you find something of interest here and maybe even a breakthrough! If not I'm sure you'll at least find some very good company :D

Best wishes

Andrew,

I was informed about the "TS" site from one of your current members during contact on the Genes Reunited web site. I am glad she gave me the "nod" on this as I imagine that this site will be extremely helpful in my quest to trace a some of my ancestry.

Looking for any information on the Ireland, Duffy, Drummond, Horsburgh and Black families in and around the Fife area.

Fantastic site! I picked up a recommendation for it on Rootsweb and am so glad I did. Have only been a member for a couple of days but have already solved many of the little mysteries that have been annoying me for sometime! Everyone is so friendly and helpful and I feel quite at home already!

Thanks everyone.
