Scotland / Re: Fresh search for ancestors - surnames "Tweedie" and "McCall"

To Peaches: This could be very useful! Thank you very much.

To Tidybooks: My father's parents are Thomas and Betty McCall - I am unsure of her maiden name, but will find this out very soon.

My mother's mother is Janette Wilson, her maiden name being Tweedie. I am unsure of my mother's father's name, as he died when she was very young. However, I'll also find this out very soon.

The only information about my family history I know: my mother's side descend from fishing families on the West Coast of Scotland, most likely Glasgow.

Thank's very much for your time.

Scotland / Fresh search for ancestors - surnames "Tweedie" and "McCall"
« on: Wednesday 17 December 08 11:33 GMT (UK)  »
Hi folks,

I'm keen on tracing as far back into the history of my family.

My dad's family surname is McCall.
My mother's is Tweedie.

My birthplace is Galashiels, which is also where all of my relatives were born.

In terms of research, where would be the best place to start? I can't afford to spend money on research, but understand that this will give me access to the best resources.

Would also like to hear from people who have info to hand on either of these surnames?

Thanks for your time,
Dave McCall
