the North Lanarkshire Archives and the Lanarkshire Family History Society.

The tour ends after breakfast on Friday morning. Some will
head further afield, or stay a few days longer. Others will return home complete
with certificates, stories, photos, a richer sense of themselves as part of the
Scottish diaspora and with a keener sense of connection not only to their
ancestors but also to their ancestral homeland.
