As part of our research we provide transcriptions, they are included in our reports and also as part of our family tree packages. This past year we have transcribed 1000's of Birth Deaths and Marriages alone. These can be provided in a format to match the dimensions of the original records we have used in our research or in narrative form. They are arranged according to your requirements, perhaps by date or by name and included in our family tree and ancestral line packages and bespoke historical reports. The file below is an example of an appendix of transcriptions for an all line pedigree research package carried out one morning last week.

 Welcome to Old Scottish Genealogy and Family History and our new blog! Our website is 'launching' and we envisage this blog as a place where you can find out about all our latest genealogy and family history news and resources in (almost) real time. 
We shall be making regular updates to the site in the new few months as we bring our existing and new services on line - there are already genealogy packages to jump start your Scottish family tree research, our in-house engraved genealogy plaques  to show off your research and resources such as our first One-Place study - Kinclaven, Perthshire.
