This Wallace family tree was compiled
almost entirely from the public records available
in Edinburgh, where I was able to trace a fairly complete
pattern, knowing only my grandfather's age at the
date of his death, the address where my father lived
in Edinburgh in the 1920s and a few of his recollections
of his uncle and cousins. The GRO's computerised indexes
allow you to do some fairly speculative searches and
to check the results immediately against the microfiches
of the original records. Even better than that, this
page caught the eye of one of the cousins I had never
known - and now we have new family connections!
