Return to Scotland Project
Do you need help learning how to do something in the Scotland Project? We are here to help! The dedicated members listed below are happy to volunteer their time to assist you.
Project Helpers
- Amy Gilpin - I'm available to help new and established members find answers to their questions about the Scotland Project, and WikiTree as a whole.
- Mark Sutherland-Fisher - Like Amy I am happy to assist both new and established members with questions they may have on Scottish profiles. In particular for anyone with a question about Scottish Clans, the Scottish Aristocracy and Gentry or "protocol" on Wikitree profiles, I will do my best to help.
- Bobbie Hall - I love writing bios, with sources as well integrated as possible (inline citations). My research has been into the "common man," the miners, farmers, seamen and small merchants. I love to ferret out the small bits of information that give colour to the lives of these people. I'm more than happy to help with ideas on how to make your research subjects shine.
- Jackie Prentice -My thing is building Bio's to make profiles as full as possible. Also willing to help point people in the right direction for sources, and help with stumbling blocks.
- Sarah Mason - I am always happy to help. If I don't know the answer, I will track down someone who does. I love researching and I find puzzle solving very satisfying, which is why I enjoy Connecting.
- Doug McCallum - I'm an OCD researcher and willing to help where I can. My approach is to teach others how to find resources and to use them once they do.
- Jen Hutton - I enjoy playing detective, working on 'cold case' files. If you need an assist with finding sources, making connections, or creating bios that make the subject feel 'real'....please message me, I'd be happy to help. I also have a pre-1500 badge, so if you have details (reliably sourced) you'd like to see added to an ancestor's profile....message me!

Would I be best to join the Scotland Project now or just seek help from one of your lovely Project Helpers? Thanks, Jean
"Aprile 29 1692 Alexr Mortaine in Oldhamftocks parish & Marione Whythead in this, he having ye teftimony of ye Elders & she being known to us gave up yth names, yth pledges being consigned & after proclamatn three foberall L: d: were married here ye 30 of June pwds wfts" (Is there a way I can post the image?) My question is: All the entries seem to have this "foberall L: d:" (or "<: d:") so I assume it is to the proclamation on three Sabbath days, but what is it short for? I have no idea what the last collection of abbreviations are for either! Thanks Bruce

I want to create a new profile for an ancestor, Katharin Beatton, the wife of Henry Wards (abt.1705-).
In the process of taking the pre 1770 certification, it indicates that I should check with this project to ensure that the person has not yet been entered. How do I do this?
Thanks, Greg

I seem to remember you listed tartans we could use safely on profiles. I think I've lost where you put them?

I am wanting to enter information re scotish people pre 1700, and have been told that I should check with this group to ensure that the person has not yet been entered. How do I do this?

I need help locating a birth record for a South African Cairncross with Scottish Roots: David Benjamin Cairncross. Will also accept recommendations on the appearance of the profile, thanks.
