An uair a tha thu a\u2019 t\u00f2iseachadh ri rannsachadh do theaghlach fh\u00e8in, \u2019s e an duilgheadas as motha c\u00e0it\u2019 an t\u00f2isich thu, agus \u2019s e am freagairt t\u00f2iseachadh le d\u2019 fhiosrachadh fh\u00e8in! <\/h4>\n\n

Bruidhinn ri do ch\u00e0irdean agus cruthaich craobh-teaghlaich. Bu ch\u00f2ir dhut feuchainn ris an teaghlach a thoirt air ais gu toiseach an fhicheadamh linn, nuair a tha e comasach dhut coimhead ri na cl\u00e0ran oifigeil. Ma tha fios agad c\u00e0it an robh do shinnsearachd a\u2019 fuireach, seall ri na cunntasan-sluaigh, agus gheibh thu iad bho 1841 gu 1921. <\/p>\n\n

Ro 1855, \u2019s d\u00f2cha gum faigh thu fiosrachadh anns na Seann Chl\u00e0ran Eaglais, no OPR (Old Parochial Registers), no ann an cl\u00e0ran na h-Eaglaise Chaitligich. Anns na h-Eileanan Siar bha iad fada gun t\u00f2iseachadh a\u2019 cl\u00e0radh, agus an uair a th\u00f2isich iad bha t\u00f2rr thachartasan nach deach a chl\u00e0radh idir.<\/p>\n\n

Faodaidh tu beul aithris a chleachdadh<\/a>, ann an riochd sgeulachdan anns an teaghlach agad, agus cuideachd ainmean teaghlaich, airson dearbhadh, no cuir an aghaidh, cuid de na tha anns na cl\u00e0ran. Tha am fiosrachadh air an l\u00e0rach-l\u00ecn seo air a chur ri ch\u00e8ile bho rannsachadh a tha Bill Lawson air a bhith a\u2019 d\u00e8anamh cha mh\u00f2r fad a bheatha<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n\n
