YOU CAN HELP BY

This is a labour of love of a few individuals, who have done their best! You can help by:

Emailing us any information that is missing or inaccurate about your ancestors.
Providing us with certificates or parish records that support your dates and places.
Offering to proofread and fact-check information. (We are far from perfect!)
Entering the source referencing on the family trees. (Our time has been spent accumulating information and this important task has slipped by the wayside!)
Maintaining the tree for one particular branch.
Visiting the National Records of Scotland Office in Princes Street to research personally for us. A certificate purchased online cost £1.50 (and sometimes it proves not to be one of our Blacks) but on a daily visit you can view as many records as you like for £15.00.

This project is a work in progress. Please join us on our journey and provide positive, practical assistance and feedback.

Acknowledgments:

Meg Stenhouse, a non-family member from the West Lothian Family History Society gave us an amazing start providing us with many certificates, trees, and photographs.
We are aware that we have not directly contacted individuals with online trees that we have on occasions 'appropriated'. Thank you for the data and sharing your information online.
