If you have Scottish ancestry, you might be able to find information about noble ancestors. Genealogy researchers at the University of Strathclyde have compiled a progress report on the men who signed or attached their seals to the Declaration of Arbroath. 

The Declaration of Arbroath Family History Project has, to date, gathered information on 40 of the document’s 48 signatories, while the remaining eight were covered in the previous Battle of Bannockburn Family History Project. The new report focuses on 15 of them, along with King Robert the Bruce.

The new report is based on latest research by postgraduate diploma students at Strathclyde and staff from the university’s Genealogical Studies postgraduate programme. It is being published to coincide with St Andrew’s Day.
