Recently Amazon have issued the published book by Anne Beer called a tale of two crofts, tracking two branches of Mackay in Sutherland around the Lairg and Rogart area and then also abroad.
This is a good collection of thoughts and family history with an insight into crofting in Sutherland after the clearances.
Over the last year or so I have been working on three writing projects.
One is by Anne Beer and her book "Tale of two crofts". I have a small contribution and this book will be in electronic form and paper back. It traces two families in Sutherland with similar roots.
Available today Is my latest book "It was almost a glorious day". It is available on Amazon Kindle.
It is a collection of short stories in the Highlands of Scotland. Best to read the blurb at Amazon for the details and premise.
I keep coming across people who are back or starting family history. Its a good Subject!
You can work away for weeks and find nothing interesting then some of the leads come up with new things.
Granted most of this is through the recent DNA test I took which said I was Scottish - I knew that. The possible new connections have similar DNA "Threads" but were not connected in my tree.
WikiTree was also used to pin point connections.
Happy searching during lockdown!!
