Welcome to Loch Family History, a dedicated resource for exploring the rich heritage, genealogy, and historical impact of the Loch family in Scotland and beyond.
The Loch Family History began with an extraordinary discovery. Many years ago, hidden away in a loft, our family uncovered a remarkable hand-painted pedigree scroll; an intricate visual record tracing generations of the Loch family. That moment sparked a journey that has grown far beyond a single document.
Since then, the author Brett Culpin devoted countless hours to researching and rebuilding the Loch lineage, connecting the information on the scroll to historical records, personal archives, and living descendants. His work builds on the foundation laid by The Family of Loch, published in 1934 by Gordon Loch, and expands it into the modern era.
Today, manuscript is in the final stages of editing, in preparation for publication and wider circulation. It is divided into six parts and explores:
– The origins of the Loch family –
– Key branches and notable ancestors –
– Historic roles and occupations –
– Migrations and expansions of the family line –
– The search for present-day Loch descendants in the UK and beyond –
As we work to complete and publish this book, we hope this site will become a place for Loch families, researchers, and anyone with an interest in Scottish ancestry to connect, learn, and share.
