Meet the Team

Ghillie is the Skeletons in the Closet Genealogy Assistant!  You  might be wondering where the name Ghillie came from. Well, the word  ‘Ghillie’ is Gaelic for man-servant, and this is essentially what his  role entails.  The Ghillie is your personal assistant while you are  fishing!  So, while Wilma ‘fishes’ for your relatives, Ghillie will be right  by her side helping  😊. He can usually be found hanging around the  whiteboard or on the bookshelf waiting to take notes!  Ghillie also has a Genealogy Blog on this site

Wilma is Skeletons chief bone-digger! As well as having done personal family research for the last 30ish years, Wilma is half way through the Professional Learning Certificate in Genealogical Studies, focusing on Scottish Records.  

Genealogy is her passion and she spends most of her spare time researching or studying genealogy! She also has many contacts in the genealogy world who she calls on for help and advise when needed.
