 |
|
Hi everybody,
I'm originally from North Ayrshire and have just started looking up my family tree - who came from Glasgow to Ayrshire via Edinburgh.
I now live in Leadhills and used to work at the museum in Wanlockhead where I spent a fair bit of time helping other people research their genealogy - now it's time to do my own! :)
Still quite an amateur to all this so please be gentle with me, and forgive all the stupid questions I'm bound to ask!  |

Thanks so much for your welcomes everybody. So far it's taken me ages just to look at a few sections on here - feel quite overloaded. Will be back when I have got my head round a bit more.
Looks like a great site :O) |

Hello Smoo - and welcome to SFT!
Just finding a few lines of my own in the SW, mainly on my wife's side, so I'll be interested to see how you get on.

Thanks again everyone for your welcomes.
Re Leadhills/Wanlockhead - yes I did love working there. I have a particular interest in most things underground (as you may have guessed by my username!) and love exploring caves or old metal mines when I can.
If I can help anyone with local info / photos etc of this area, would be happy to help :) |
