WELCOME TO OUR BLOG

We've kept ourselves busy trying to update friends and family about our work and travels in Scotland. We thought the best way might be to publish a family blog. I'm a novice and will try my best to get this going with as much flair as I can muster. Please enjoy and leave your comments.

A few days ago our camera team was taken to the city center of Edinburgh by taxi to tour the General Register House, the main building of the three National Archives of Scotland sites. The building has been in use as a repository for government records since the 1700's. It was a good way for us to see how we fit in preserving of the Scottish records. We were impressed not only by the architecture of the building but it's many uses. One function is as a place where patrons can look at the books to find their ancestors or use the computers to search online for family. We enjoyed a lunch while there and were each given gifts to recognize our volunteer efforts on behalf of the Scottish people.
