Thank you Dorothy,

Anyway I'm slowing down a bit. ( have to at this rate I'll be broke in a month) ;)

I'll keep you posted.

Bye the noo

Hello forum,

I just recently returned from a trip to my home town Dundee Scotland. Had not been back since 1990
It was a wonderful family reunion, way over due. I took my wife and 3 youngest children. They got to meet there aunts and uncles and all their cousins for the first time, they had a blast. We spent quite abit time in Arbroath which is where my family went on holiday every year as kids. Coming back I have devolped an interest in my family tree which I had never really thought of before. My Mum gave me some of the old birth certificates
so I could do some research.

So here is what I know so far.
My Great grandfather Alexander Scott (Blacksmith ) married Mary Airth 1898 July 15th Arbroath.
had a son, my grandad Alexander Scott (Joiner journeyman) on 1899 May 15th 5 St Vigeans Rd Arbroath
he married my grandmother Cecilia Farquharson Hunter July 24th 1924 Dundee. They gave birth to my father,yet another Alexander Scott (Tool and Dye maker) on October 23rd 1929

Well thats all I know on my father side, so I'll tackle this first.

Thank you for any help or tips on how to pursue the quest of my family tree.

Ian
