Testimonials

“Mhairi’s research into my family tree was very thorough and enlightening. I was pleased with her attention to detail and caring approach. I felt very comfortable discussing the family tree with her. Thank you for everything, Mhairi.”

Jean, Ayrshire

 

"Previously, a Scottish genealogist created a family research report for me, but she had retired by the time we were able to travel from the U.S. to Scotland. She suggest I contact Mhairi who was completing her genealogical studies.

Mhairi was very responsive by email before we arrived and helped me set up a visit to the National Library of Scotland in Edinburgh, including how to register as a member and how to request specific documents in advance. She also sent me information about place names and websites to assist in planning our visit to Ayrshire.

While we were in Ayrshire, Mhairi took us to various locations in the Dalry area where my ancestors had lived, as well as suggesting a local museum that was relevant to their lives. Since she has family ties in the Ayrshire area, she has a lot of knowledge to share.

I found Mhairi easy to work with and eager to follow-up on details. She enhanced our visit to Scotland.”

“Thank you so much for the marvellous family tree which you researched. Such a professional package with meticulous complete records of births, deaths and marriages going back over many generations spanning 200 years. I’m now in touch with relatives around the world that I hadn’t known existed until now!”

Alex, Ayrshire

 

“Having recently had my family tree researched by Ayrshire Genealogy I would thoroughly recommend them. From my first meeting with Mhairi to discuss who I wished to research, she was always updating me on a weekly basis to see if I was happy with what she had found out and if I had any questions.

On my last meeting with Mhairi to collect my family tree it was beautifully presented in two folders. My parting words were I will be in touch in the near future to research further back into my family.”
