Ma faimily Page

Here's anither attempt at settin up a page or twa aboot ma ancestry, as the first wisna aw that guid.

Dae yous yins like the backgroond, guess whit it's wan o the Sutherland tartans, it widae tak Einstien

tae figure that oot

So this is aw aboot ma faimily, it aw stairted wi ma brither Alan, pokin his not inconsiderable

snout intae wir past. He goat me interested an ah foon this distant relative o' oors called

Alan Beattie, wha hid dun a loat mair research oan wir Mithers side frae Shetland.

The upshot o' aw wir efforts kin be seen at Faimily whaur else? Noo ah hiv tae say that

ah hiv foon some sites an software awfy helpful in ma wee quest so it widnae dae yees

ony harm tae hiv a wee peek at myfamily.com if ye are aff a similar bent, an want tae

ken whaur ye cum frae. Noo they, ye see hiv a facility tae upload yer tree tae

ancestry.com so tha ithers can peek at it if that's whit ye want, an maybe that

wey ye find sum lang lost rellys. Ah also foon rootsweb.com awfy useful. They hiv aw
