Irish Scottish Roots
About this Organisation

Irish Scottish Roots is an independent genealogy, local history, and heritage research website founded by Terry Donlan, a family historian who has researched his Irish and Scottish ancestry since 1985 and undertaken six research trips to Ireland and Scotland.
The website helps family historians, descendants of Scottish emigrants, and heritage travelers explore their ancestral connections through historical records, clan histories, local history, and research guides.
Its Scottish research coverage includes Highland clan histories, particularly Clan Fraser, historic family connections, ancestral locations, archival resources, and the communities that shaped Scotland's history.
Irish Scottish Roots also publishes practical genealogy research guides, historically informed articles, and free interactive itinerary planning tools designed to help visitors organize research trips to Scotland and Ireland.
The website aims to make reliable historical and genealogical information more accessible, encourage the use of original records, and connect family history research with the places and communities where ancestors lived.
