Merle Palmer

I am a professional Genealogist, Family, Business and House Historian with a post-graduate diploma in Genealogy from the University of Strathclyde. My passion for researching our family history and reconnecting with new found family worldwide inspired me 7 years ago to set up my own business, Your Scots Past.  I believe every family has a precious and unique history which should be preserved and which deserves to be told.

Services

Based in central Scotland I am ideally located to access records in Edinburgh as well as local archives throughout Perthshire, Dundee and Angus. As every family story will be different I offer a range of services that can be customised to meet specific requirements and budgets. This includes problem solving; look ups in local archives; transcription services and photography of locations and gravestones. All research will be supplied with full references and an explanation of the records searched. With a wide knowledge of the  genealogical resources available, a logical approach to problem solving and rigorous research skills you can be assured of a friendly and personalised service.
