Keep an eye on this page for information about Family History events we have coming up...

 

If you would be interested in coming along to a guided research session please let us know.

 

If you're looking for guidance on researching your ancestry in other areas of North-East Scotland, an excellent starting point would be the online directory of local resources compiled by Aberdeen & North East Scotland Ancestral Tourism Partnership new website available from beginning of May.

 

It is estimated that globally there are between 25 and 100 million people who make up the Scottish Diaspora. The developing interest in discovering your roots is being met by a growing range of resources and facilities and we are proud to have created a further such resource at the Salmon Bothy.

 

Our team of volunteers has been given training in helping visitors to explore their roots and the facility includes PCs where online investigation can be carried out. Additionally the museum will house a steadily increasing library of information and photographs about the history of the area, providing that all important extra dimension by which our visitors can discover what life was actually like for their antecedents.

Catalogue of ancestor charts

As we build up our resources library, the focus will be on collecting material with specific relevance to the local area, i.e. Portsoy and the parish of Fordyce.

family historyOne of the tools we intend to create for genealogical research will be a catalogue of ancestor charts. Anyone with an ancestral link to Portsoy is invited to complete a family tree, so that other researchers sharing the same ancestors can make contact and exchange information of mutual interest
