Hi all,
I'm sure I have seen it somewhere before, possibly on the old forum, but I stumbled across http://www.ayrshireroots.co.uk/ yesterday when looking at a couple of hints in Family Historian. I have a few relatives in my Gill ancestors who hail from Ayrshire, and my wife's Norris ancestors have rather more. I suspect the site hasn't been updated in a while, but there's still a mine of information, you can search the database by person, family or place. Of the information I already have, nearly all of it was the same , and I found a couple of new great-great uncles/aunts for my wife's tree.
We welcome any query on Who When Where. If you have previously posted it on another forum (including the old WDYTYA forum), please state this in your opening post - this will save people redoing the research which has been done before: they can look at it and possibly go further with it.
Ayrshire records
Re: Ayrshire records
I have been using the site today and, while the information is very useful, the site is definitely slightly user unfriendly. I have found it necessary to create a bookmark in order to get back to the family I was looking at, as I couldn't work out a way from the home page
I originally found the site by chance when I put the village of Sorn, Ayrshire into google.
I do not believe the site has actually been updated since about 2016, although there are apparently over 80000 records.
