Society Genealogist
At the 2004 Annual General Meeting, Marion Green succeeded Mr. Tony Lowe as Clan Genealogist. Mr. Lowe
retired after serving the Clan Hannay Society with wonderful and
diligent research since 1999.
CLAN GENEALOGIST Mrs Marion R Green
Following in the footsteps of Tony Lowe, I look
forward to assisting members of the Society in tracing their
origins and/or pointing them in the right direction to enable
them to search the records themselves. I am a member of several
family history societies including our local one—Dumfries and
Galloway—and as a volunteer spend several hours per week in
their Research Centre assisting visitors.
There are many websites that can assist you such
as: -
www.familysearch.org -
International Genealogical
Index created by the LDS. Free search
www.cwgc.org -
Free Commonwealth
War Graves Commission search
www.scottishdocuments.com
- Free Wills and
Testaments search. £5.00 copy of image
www.dumgal.gov.uk/lia
- The 1851 census for
Dumfries and Galloway plus other archival material
www.ellisisland.org -
Emigration Records. Free
to search indexes, must register to see entries
www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk
- Births, Deaths and
Marriages & 1891 & 1901 censuses from 1553-1927. £6.00 for 48
hours access and 30 credits.
There are
many more websites, one of which I had success with recently was
e-bay. I keyed in genealogy and found there were several people
willing to do lookups of the 1871 -1901 censuses for the
princely sum of 99p. My services are free except where there is
an expense incurred such as copies of certificates, censuses
etc. Please include a stamped addressed envelope or an I.R.C.
