Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne!
And there's a hand, my trusty fere!
And gie's a hand o' thine!
And we'll tak a right gude-willie waught,
For auld lang syne.
Which in this case means we hope we can give you a helping hand to trace your ancestors.
The website contains one family tree “WILLIAMSONs of KENNOWAY”, a one name study database of the surname “McBROOM” that contains a number of family trees – one large, many small trees and many individual families and even individual persons not yet connected. The third database “WAIFS and STRAYS” is a large number of family trees, some large, some small and the aim is that visitors may find members of their tree and ancestors and cousins they did not know existed.
The website and content is very much a work-in-progress that will grow over time. Persons still alive are shown as “living” to protect their identity. If you do find a connection and would like to view the “living” information, please email me via the “CONTACT US” section to gain permission to view the database including “living” persons.

Sources are shown where possible and are rated as to accuracy on a scale of 0 to 4
0 = Unreliable evidence

Initially there will only be media (photos mainly) posted on the WILLIAMSONs of KENNOWAY tree, these will be uploaded over a period of time, and I will post the progress in the News Section, however for those interested in any particular area I can send you, by email copies of any relevant media that I possess (lots!).
