Hello and welcome to my Abercromby/Crombie website. I am a retired historian and over the past eighteen months I have been researching and writing this story. I found so much more than I ever expected and there were, for me, some real surprises. Initially, I just thought I would try to find what I could about my father's ancestors, butwhat I found far surpassed my expectations. It is 57 years since my father died and this has reconnected me to him and his family. The most amazing thing for me was to discover how the leaf seems not to have fallen very far from the tree at all. I am in Australia but I had the good fortune to visit Scotland a couple of times, the first was 50 years ago and the last was for my daughter's you wedding in 2008. Enjoy searching through it, maybe you will find what you have been . looking for.
All the historical research was my own work, but I thank all those genealogists out there who have done such marvellous work in finding the family members which enabled me to make the branches of the family tree.
