  Welcome To Raasay.com Genealogy Section



Tracing your ancestors can be very rewarding but at the same time very difficult when you have exhausted all the possible avenues of enquiry. So here at Raasay.com we hope to offer other possibilities for investigating your ancestral tree.

If you are starting out in Genealogy nothing compares with speaking to someone asking general questions regarding which resources best suit your particular family or location. The library in Portree will be able to point you in the right direction. If you are visiting Raasay why not arrange to go to the local Raasy Heritage Centre where you will be able to retrieve information specific to Raasay families.

Should you wish to take the one-to-one route then why not engage the services of a local Genealogy researcher her business is called skye-roots.co.uk.
