Pedigree of the Loch Family
Tracing the Legacy: A Genealogical Journey Through the Loch Family History
“The most significant find, however, was an old linen parchment roll, which unveiled a remarkable document”.
In 1968, a curious 13-year-old boy discovered a forgotten scroll buried in the dusty attic of his parents’ rented flat. The scroll contained a meticulously hand-drawn family tree – an artefact of history waiting to be explored.
Fifty-one years later, he inherited the scroll once more and embarked on a five – year journey to uncover the rich history of the Loch family, tracing their lineage from 1430 to the present day.
