I recently discovered my Shetland rellys - thanks to SP's 1909 birth certificates! - and found bayanne's site.  It is fantastic!

Well done! And thanks!

Bayanne's site is brilliant and so very helpful
BUT in chatting he asked for information where Shetland/Fair Isle families have gone so there is a continuation of thr family trees away from Shetland - I was happy to send him my tree and its now fully incorporated

Brilliant - Thank you, so much information

Bayanne is first class but you might consider the Shetland Family History Society,
 
www.shetland-fhs.org.uk

For an OAP it's £12 a year and includes their quarterly journal, "Coontin Kin!"

Bests,
Skoosh.

I am doing a family tree for a friend whose maternal side are from Shetland Isles mostly Unst & Yell it is so confusing, I have a William Basil Manson b 1780 Yell, marrying Janet Scolley I found marriage details on Scotlands People but he was called William Basil Henry, on Bayanne's site his father is Magnus Henry where does Manson come from? I have come across quite a few people who do not share their father's name, and so many of them end in son which I know is quite common. Bayanne site is wonderful so much information.
