About Us

My interest in Genealogy was peaked when I moved from Scotland to Canada and people kept asking me about my Scottish heritage and family.  With the help and invaluable input from my Aunty Joyce, I was able to make a great start to the paternal side of my family and thanks to the information now available on the Internet, my job as family historian is much easier.  

I found that doing my Family Research made me really happy, so have taken the plunge and started doing some genealogy courses to become certified in genealogy and start my own Family Research company, specialising in Scottish genealogy.  My background in Business Analysis and Project Management helps keep me focused and organised!

Due to some of the surprises that have popped up when digging, the name Skeletons in the Closet seemed appropriate!

Right now,  Skeletons in the Closet consists of me,  Wilma Nicholson (nee Rankine), although I do have plenty unofficial help from my family and encouragement from my friends. 

My wee family is made up of my hubby Dave and our 2 wee Westies, Molly and Hamish.
