Walking Down Ellen’s Street: Researching My Ancestors in Scotland presented by Jane Gramlich, CVGS Vice President and Program Chair

  • Independence Civic Center 6363 Selig Boulevard Independence, OH, 44131 United States (map)

AncestryDNA currently tells Jane she’s 33% Scottish - not surprising given her 2x great-grandparents, Thomas Muir and Ellen Campbell, emigrated from Glasgow in 1879. So a trip to Scotland had been in the back of her mind for a long time, and it finally became possible in September 2023. Plenty of research done over the years paved the way. But it was the incredible resources on FamilySearch, ScotlandsPeople, and ScotlandsPlaces, as well as the assistance of the Glasgow & West of Scotland Family History Society that made the trip a success. If you have Scottish ancestry, learn how these resources could help you!
