Hello everyone,

I imagine some of you might have received this mail - it has reached us here at Perth so I am forwarding here. This looks like a tremendous opportunity to contribute to that joined up aspect of ancestral tourism/local history/genealogy we all discuss at our LocScot meetings! I’m sharing this to local contacts as it looks like an ideal way to get information about what we all do out there!
I’d encourage you to circulate and sign up, looks easy and will be a really helpful resource for us all,
Kind regards,
Nicola

Circulating this to members of SATG and wider SATG contacts.

Ancestral Welcome Scheme - Membership and Regional Factsheets

VisitScotland has now finalised the revised Ancestral Welcome Scheme criteria, and are ready to start recruiting Genealogy Support Services (businesses/ individuals) who would like to be included in the Scheme. It is also beginning the process of collating the contact details and areas of expertise of Genealogy Support Services for inclusion in Regional Factsheets.

Over recent months VisitScotland has been updating its Ancestral Welcome Scheme, to be launched during Autumn 2016. As part of the revived Ancestral Welcome Scheme, the Scheme will now be available to genealogy support services free of charge.

Attached are the Ancestral Welcome Scheme criteria for Genealogy Support Services, the application form for joining the Scheme, and a form to be completed if a business/ individual is interested in having their details included in Regional Factsheets.

VS are also keen to collate genealogy support services’ areas of expertise and business details for inclusion in Regional Factsheets, to be circulated across the VisitScotland Information Centre network and be provided as a resource for all businesses who join the updated Scheme.

If you are interested in joining the Ancestral Welcome Scheme and/or being included in the Regional Factsheets, please fill out the necessary documentation attached, then scan and send to [log in to unmask] .

VS would also be grateful if recipients could forward this email on to any other businesses/individuals you may be aware of who you believe this would be of interest to.

Thanks
