People from all over Scotland have travelled to make their homes worldwide and those from Speyside and Moray are no exception. If you have traced your ancestors to this area and would like to visit to take your research further then please contact me and let me know where you would like to visit. There are so many old graveyards locally that finding them can be quite a challenge in itself and, sad though it sounds, I have been to most of them! Being a keen amateur genealogist I understand the thrill of making the connections and doing the detective work to fill in the gaps. The local history centre at the library in Elgin (Grant Lodge) is a goldmine of information and I have spent many happy hours in front of the microfiches trying to make sense of the copperplate writing of the old manuscripts to put together pieces of someones family jigsaw. There really is nothing like seeing the original documents for yourself in all of their yellowed glory and I can hopefully save your valuable vacation time and take you straight to them.

If you have information relating to Moray and would like me to help you to take it further please drop me a line. I have to say though that it won't happen overnight and please include any information that you have, no matter how insignificant you think it is.
