We can recommend that anyone researching their roots in Caithness join, as
we have, the Caithness Family History Society, formed in
September1999. We were put in touch by Anne Houston, whose book "Lest we
forget the Parish of Canisbay" we bought during the Clan Gathering in
Caithness. Anne Houston, and their Secretary, Anne Dunnett have been most
helpful to us and with new information and new contacts we are now hot on a
trail that went cold a couple of years ago. Yesterday I spoke with one of
the descendants of the Laird Shipbuilders, thought to be of Caithness
origin! We have with the Society's permission copied material from its
brochure in the "Caithness" Section of our website. Some extracts from
Anne's book are also there.
Yours aye
Iain Laird
