Susan and Laura are a dynamic mother-daughter duo from Historic Kincardineshire with a passion for genealogy. Together, they embarked on exciting journeys to uncover their family's rich Scottish history, diving deep into archives and exploring ancestral connections. They have traced their Scottish roots far back through the records, visiting various historical sites and uncovering fascinating stories and documents that reveal the lives of their ancestors. In 2020, they became active members of Benholm and Johnshaven Heritage Society and help to research and curate annual exhibitions open to the public from April to September in Johnshaven Heritage Museum. This shared journey not only deepens their understanding of their heritage but also strengthens their bond as they navigate the complexities of family history together.  

 

To help others discover their roots, they have set up Kincardine Kin, a service that offers personalised research and guidance, making the research process accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Their enthusiasm for tracing inspires individuals to celebrate the stories of the past and the legacies that shape our today. With each new discovery, Susan and Laura encourage others to embrace their Scottish heritage and connect with their own family narratives fostering a sense of belonging and appreciation for one’s lineage.
