  • Caithness Family History Society
    Caithness Family History Society was formed in September 1999 by a small group of enthusiasts and has already grown to some 350 members worldwide. Its aim is to promote an interest in genealogy and, wherever they can, to help others trace their roots – especially families originating from Caithness.
