The Hebrides People ‘Cò Leis Thu?’ genealogy service can help you trace your Western Isles ancestors.
We specialise in producing family trees that show people’s ancestry up to seven generations, along with notes which can reveal the oral tradition that was recorded about certain families.
Our full family tree service includes:
- a printed tree (up to 6 generations on high-quality A4 paper, up to 7 generations on high-quality A3 paper).
- a printed set of notes, including oral tradition.
- information on siblings in each generation up to about 1900.
- information on where family members settled.


Family tree service:
- up to 5 generations (A4 size) £120.00
- up to 6 generations (A4 size) £150.00
- up to 7 generations (A3 size) £200.00
We can also research more specific enquiries about your Western Isles ancestry, and we have an extensive archive of research, documents and books built up by Bill Lawson over the last 60 years which we can consult.
- Hourly rate for genealogy research: £25
