My father returned to his mother’s homeland shortly after she died 30 years ago. He knocked door to door and visited the archives in Edinburgh. He passed long before he could see this sadly. Thanks to you we now know how much he was right about our family. His writing and notes were in the attic, now they’re in our beautiful family book. Thanks for helping pass on dad’s hard work to the next generation and showing that family stories even the oldest shouldn’t be ignored. Really, this is something special, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Life changer. I was overwhelmed by all the information on myheritage. Thanks to you our family story is clear, we feel even more connected. You got the records for Maryland as well as tracing back to Liverpool and Ireland. We’ve still to take the DNA tests but when we do we know where to come. Thanks again

“Mark has a unique background that serves him so well in geneological research. His two decades living and working in journalism in North America gives him knowledge about immigration patterns from the old world to the new over the last 300 years. And, where to find family records in both. But, what really especially impresses is his intimate knowledge of the history of Scotland especially but the British Isles and Ireland as a whole. He can figure out why an ancestor likely relocated or had a change of circumstance based on his encyclopedic knowledge of local, regional and national social and political history. His ability to figure out why something happened – on top of records confirming it did – is stunning”
