Family history research in Paisley

A recent phenomenon that is giving an even greater rise to the popularity of genealogy is the advent of genealogy based TV programming. The success of programs such as “Who Do You Think You Are?” is inspiring many people to take up the hobby and begin the search for their genetic legacy.

 

 

Such is the case with Paisley reporter Jeff Holmes who in his article “I never knew about secret Buddie roots “shares with us his personal story of discovery. Along with the tale of his individual journey, Jeff illuminates for us, via his reporting, the unique perspective of genealogy through the eyes of a local studies librarian. Throughout the article Jeff’s message is one of perseverance, surprises and the reward of discoveries made.
