To help get you on your way to tracing your Scottish ancestry, we've
created two useful searches.
Our clan
search searches the world's largest clan database, provided by
Tartanweb, to match over 35,000 surnames against Scottish clans
which they may be linked to, so it's the perfect way to find out if you
have a little bit of Scot in you! If you find a match with
your surname, you'll see an informative history
of the clan, a map to show where most of that clan would have come
from originally, as well as a swatch of the clan tartan!
And remember, once you work out what clan your ancestors belonged to, you
can buy a kilt in the tartan of that clan. So what are you waiting
for, try it
now!

We have also linked up with Scotlandspeople.gov.uk,
the official government source of genealogical data for Scotland, to
allow you to run an initial search into the official
1881 census records. If you think your ancestors were still in
Scotland at that time and know their first name and surname, you
can take the first step towards locating their listing in the 1881
census. Once you've taken that first step, why not sign-up to
our enewsletter to receive free credits to use on the
pay-per-view Scotlandspeople website,
where you can continue your search.
