If you visit the castle, be sure to see the Hall of Remembrance.  It holds books
containing the names of all those Scots men and women who died in the Great War
and WW2.  If you have a relative who died in either of these they will be there
- I have been and it is very moving.
Good luck with your searching!

 

There is also the Aberdeen and North East Scotland Family History Society (see http://www.anesfhs.org.uk/). Their headquarters is at 158-164 King Street, Aberdeen. I have found them very helpful whenever I have visited there. They include the Peterhead area, and have a well-stocked library, as they have been going longer than the FHSB.

And in Peterhead itself, if you are interested in cemetery records, there is the Registrar's office, but you need to make an appointment to visit it.

what you want to research as you have limited time. Find out what you need to
look for by visiting the website.  In 2009, it was better to make a booking and
I rang them from the place I was staying to make an all day booking.  They are
helpful and will set you up. There is usually a queue at the place first up, but
if you have made a booking you can go straight in.  At the end of the first
day, I made a booking for the next few days which you have to pay for upfront. 
There are limited computers.  The building next door is very interesting and
houses records from court sessions.  I have forgotten its name but I'm sure
someone can tell you on this forum but you need time to read through things
which you haven't got.

of a grave of my gg-grandparents.  I was at the right cemetery but the grave
was unmarked, naturally I had to visit again in 2011 so I could put  a little
Australian flag on their grave!

Oops - it's not the Hall of Remembrance (got mixed up with Yad Vashem) it's the
Scottish National War Memorial!  The details are the same though.
Happy hunting

Greetings Margie,

If you find that you have any connection to a James Davidson and Janet Cheyne
(going back to 1600's), please let me know. I'm a distant descendant of James
and Janet's son, William who was apparently born in Peterhead in 1668 but
emigrated to America. I'm hopeful one day before I depart this planet I might
find a relation back in the Scotland. I can't imagine Peterhead is all that
large and while there are quite a few Davidsons there, maybe someone has their
lineage traced back to the 1600's.

Cheers,

Bill

I was recently on holiday in Bermuda and was happy to find a connection to
Peterhead whilst there.  The Bermuda National Cathedral was designed by
Peterhead Architect William Hay and the Peterhead pink granite was used in the
construction, primarily in all of the massive columns.  I've posted a couple of
pictures in an album.  It had special significance for me because my great
grandfather Alexander Wilson Cordiner worked in the pink granite quarries in
Peterhead in the late 1800s.

Greetings Davidson Men from Peterhead and Abderdeenshire,

Please consider DNA testing either through FTDNA, or whatever is available in
Scotland and the results can be transferred or entered into YSEARCH
(ysearch.org). I'm getting tired of having no Davidson Y-DNA matches and it's
only because I don't think a single Davidson from Aberdeenshire has taken the
test. Someone even suggested I might be from a different family name because my
closest match is a "Curley" from Ireland. The day I get a match to a Davidson in
Scotland will be a bonnie day indeed!

Cheers,

Bill Davison (Davidson)

For those of you who may not be aware ancestry.com has released some masters and
mates certificates.  I just did a search with no name but born in Peterhead and
there were 1407 different certificates!!!  The earliest date of birth that I saw
was 1809 up to about 1870.

Cheers
Susan

I discovered this by accident last week and didn't realise it was a new
addition.

George Simpson Murray born 1831 only appears on the 1841 census and there is no
death certificate for him in Scotland although I know he lived till after 1865.
I found 2 master certificates for him and after 13 years of uncertainty I can
now confirm he is definitely my gg grandfather as one of them has his address
that matches with my family!!

I don't mind having a look for anybody who doesn't have Ancestry.

Regards,
Annette

There is one for a James Keith born 1806 dated August 1853 so I'm not sure if
this is the one you are looking for. at the moment I'm not finding anything for
a william Boyd - when was he born?

Annette:

My Great Great Grandfather's name was Robert Davidson. Born 1840/1841 Please
send me his certificates. His father also named Robert, birthdate unknown,
was also a seaman. Perhaps you could find certificates for him too.

Regards,

William
