Sunday 15 January 2012
Banff & Buchan MP Dr Eilidh Whiteford has praised the Family History Society
of Buchan on their initiative after attending the official opening of their new
resource centre overlooking Peterhead
Harbour.
The local MP was invited to attend the
official opening yesterday (Saturday) which was performed by Peterhead Port
Authority Chief Executive John Wallace.
Commenting, Eilidh said:
“Family history and genealogical research is
becoming increasingly popular and is becoming an important part of local
tourism.
“This fantastic new facility is a credit to the
hard work of the volunteers who have taken the Society forward from its
formation just a few short years ago.
“I congratulate the Family History Society of
Buchan on their impressive facility and the resources within and I’m sure that
it will become an important stopping-off point for visitors to the town.”
