Welcome to my website which I set up in October 2005 in order to make an accessible record of the work which my father, Alexander Sandison (known as Sandy and pictured second from the left, above), compiled throughout his life. He had concentrated mainly on the Sandisons of Shetland, his paternal grandfather having moved away from Unst to study in Edinburgh and subsequently becoming a church minister in London in 1880. So far, I have made contact with over 200 "cousins", mainly through Genes Reunited, and I am incorporating their trees into the site. I am also working my way through the comprehensive Shetland Family History site which Tony Gott has built up at: www.bayanne.info/Shetland. This has been particularly useful because two of my children are from the separate Shetland family, Mainland, through their father. Working from home, I am also using www.ancestry.co.uk where I am able to verify a lot of the source material from census forms and birth details, etc. I have a rapidly-expanding Public Member tree on their site. I am noting sources on each record as I complete it and, although I obviously cannot guarantee 100% accuracy, I have found very few contradictions, so far.
I hope you will find the site useful. Please send any comments or suggestions to me at: annehorner@cix.co.uk
