Welcome
Welcome to my site which covers the family history of anyone from Shetland, including those who have ancestors who have moved away at some stage in the past. It also includes people from some of the other counties in Northern Scotland, such as Orkney, Caithness, Moray and Aberdeenshire. I would gladly welcome any amendments, additions or deletions as appropriate. I would also take this opportunity of thanking everyone who has contributed to this work over the last 19 years. Without you this would not have been possible.

There are costs involved in developing and maintaining this site. If you have found it useful, then any donation towards the upkeep of this facility would be very much appreciated.

From 1st March there has been a massive increase in the cost of electricity which I will have to bear. If anyone is able to help out with these additional costs, then that would be most appreciated.
