....down at my local Records Office doing some family history research rather than wasting my time reading increasingly pointless threads on this board.

Anyone care to join me?

Great way to spend the day, enjoy, I often wish I was able to visit the two main sources for information on my ancestors - The Mitchell Library in Glasgow and General Register House in Edinburgh.

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"
