Marjorie MacInnes is the expertise behind Skye Kin, driven by a passion for unravelling the genealogical web of family history and connections
that cover the
Duirinish area of north-western Skye.
Born
at Claigan, by Dunvegan on Skye, Marjorie's interest and fascination
for local family history was kindled 30 years ago. Initially researching
her own family roots, curiosity deepened as her research
extended to her husband's family from the Glendale area of Skye. The
fascinating local history, the closeness of Skye
families, access to both official and family records, plus tales handed
down of generations past, led Marjorie on to complete both
a Certificate in Local Studies at Aberdeen University (including a
dissertation on the history of her own area of Claigan) and then
a Certificate in Scottish Family History at Stirling University. Drawing
on a wealth of accumulated information, local knowledge and contacts, Marjorie now offers her professional expertise and
services through Skye Kin, for anyone wishing to find out more about
their family history and roots in the north western parishes of Skye.
