Past & Present Genealogy
My Story

Rooted in passion,
driven by discovery.

Past & Present Genealogy was born from a deep love of Scottish history and family stories. After spending years tracing families through Scotland's remarkable archives — from the Old Parish Registers at ScotlandsPeople to census records, sasines, and local newspapers — I knew I wanted to help others experience that same profound connection to their heritage.

What began as a personal journey has grown into a full professional practice, with clients across Scotland, the UK, and around the world. Each project brings new puzzles to solve, new stories to uncover, and new connections to make.

I hold a [your credential here] and am a proud member of [your professional associations]. Every research project I take on is treated with the same care and dedication I would give my own family's history.
