Roots Across the Sea

Professional genealogy research — from the Baltic to Scotland, and Jewish family history

What I Do

I trace family lines across borders — whether your ancestors left the Baltic shores for Scotland, crossed between Eastern Europe and Britain, or you are reconnecting with Jewish heritage lost to migration, war, or time.

Who I Am

[ Replace this paragraph with your introduction: your name, how long you have been researching, your qualifications or memberships (e.g. Register of Professional Genealogists, Scottish Genealogy Society, Jewish Genealogical Societies), the archives you work with regularly, and what draws you personally to Baltic, Scottish, and Jewish family history. ]

[ Optional: a second paragraph on your research philosophy — e.g. every conclusion backed by cited sources, honest about gaps and uncertainties. ]
