Searchable Online Database
Our searchable online database provides details of almost 110,000 people from the Western Isles, from the mid-1700s up to 1920, where you can discover your ancestors, and download handwritten family charts and notes.
Genealogy Service
Hebrides People can help you trace your Western Isles ancestry. Our work is based on 60 years of authoritative research carried out by Bill Lawson, a member of ASGRA and a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland.
Our ‘Cò Leis Thu?’ genealogy service can provide a full family tree for anybody with Western Isles ancestry, and makes a beautiful gift.
