Above: My Great Grandparents, John Clydesdale Laird and Sarah (born Aitchison) with Great Aunt Jean and Great Uncle Gordon (Joseph).

My father Stuart’s Mother was born Crockart.
My mother, Alice, was born Laing. Her Father’s Grandmother was born Leith, and her Mother’s Family was Noble.

I am now connected to over 1,000 people, going back  at least 6 generations on most lines, on one line back to a Provost of Aberdeen in 1320 and on another to a soldier in the Peninsular War from Corunna with Sir John Moore to Toulouse with Wellington.  Family Tree DNA have partnered with MyHeritage who have good research sources.  To view my Laird Family Tree on MyHeritage a free or paid  account will be needed.
