About Scottish Relatives and Roots & Muriel Alexander
Muriel Alexander
Scottish Genealogist
My name is Muriel Alexander, I am a Scottish Genealogist based in the heart of Scotland, near Edinburgh and just outside Stirling – the gateway to the Highlands. My interest in family historical roots was sparked as a teenager when I undertook a project at school to research the history of a family-run estate in Midlothian, Scotland. This led to a study of the origins of local place names, and before I knew it I was studying for an honours degree in Geography.
This, followed by a short career in map librarianship, together with an MSc Information Management and a Postgraduate Qualification in Genealogical, Palaeographic and Heraldic Studies from the University of Strathclyde, and work in database management projects for libraries, provided essential analytical, numerical, research, problem solving and communications skills which have been key ingredients throughout my career portfolio. 30 years of work in Higher Education spanning administration, marketing and recruitment, admissions, guidance, management and project management have all sharpened my business and customer orientated approach to everything that I undertake.
Combine that with a healthy obsession for researching family and house histories and you have the vital components for a committed, enthusiastic, refreshing and thorough approach to researching your family’s historical roots.
