Lorna features in two episodes of The Generation Frame, including tomorrow's (Monday), where she helps Audrey, the contributor to the programme, research her family from Glasgow.
Lorna said: "The research for Audrey culminated in a chart of over 200 individuals and brought some amazing family stories to life for her.
"Next week’s programme was working with Fraser in St Cuthburt’s Parish Churchyard and looking for the link to William Burke, of Burke and Hare fame.
"I think everyone should research their family tree – it’s fascinating what you can discover."
Lorna’s unusual surname of Muat led her to start researching her own family background when she was 17 years old.

She said: “"I knew Haddington featured in my family background, but didn’t know how. I got my line back to 1624 on the Muat line and on my maternal line I’m back to 1525 in Edinburgh using all primary source documentation from the National Records of Scotland in Edinburgh."
Ticket prices for the one day course have 20% off at the moment and cost £52 standard and £38 for concessions. They can be bought HERE.
