Hi everyone - new to the site.
I live in New Zealand and have no idea of what records etc are best to search for my scottish family.
I am looking for present day members of my paternal family of which I know very very little.
My father is Robert Kelly born in Glasgow 25 March 1942.
His father was also Robert Kelly and mother Georgina Lawrie.
From what I can gather he moved to Australia in his teens (1950s) and never went back to Scotland and had little if any contact with family. I know his mother lived for a while in Australia and died there.
I would love to know history of his parents but I am equally interested in finding out if I have living relatives on his side of the family.
Any advice or direction would be appreciated!
