As a Scottish genealogist, I am delighted to share that I am now a council member of the Association of Scottish Genealogists and Researchers in Archives (ASGRA). This is Scotland’s only accrediting body for professional genealogists and researchers.
This milestone represents a significant achievement in my career, demonstrating my commitment to the highest standards in genealogical research and historical study.
What is ASGRA?
ASGRA is the leading professional organisation for genealogists and archive researchers in Scotland. It promotes excellence in genealogical research, ensuring that all members meet rigorous standards before being accepted.
Members carry out research for family historians, local historians, authors, businesses, and legal firms, providing clients with high-quality, well-documented results.
To become a member, applicants must undergo a thorough assessment process that evaluates their expertise in family history research, source analysis, and professional ethics. This ensures that ASGRA members uphold the highest standards in the profession.
Why ASGRA Matters
Being a member of ASGRA is not just a personal achievement; it is also a reassurance for my clients. It signifies that my work has been independently assessed and recognised for its quality, accuracy, and professionalism.
Clients who seek genealogical research from an ASGRA member can trust that they are receiving a high quality service.
Looking Ahead as a Scottish Genealogist
I am excited to be part of ASGRA’s council.
Whether you are just beginning your family history journey or looking to break down a long-standing brick wall in your research, I am here to help. My membership in ASGRA reinforces my dedication to delivering thorough, well-researched, and ethical genealogy services.
