Do have have a story for us?

The next series of Tracing Your Roots will be back in September 2011. As always, we're keen to hear whether we can help you with your family history questions.

For this series we're particularly interested if you've hit a brick wall trying to find out more about where family money disappeared to, or came from.

We're also interested in stories of captivity- not for crimes, but perhaps a relative was held against their will in an asylum, convent...or elsewhere.

Finally, is there an intriguing name change in your family history? We'd be keen to find out why.

You can email us at tracingyourroots@bbc.co.uk or by post at Tracing Your Roots, BBC Scotland, 111 Holyrood Road, EH88PJ.
