Hello. Could anyone tell me please how I would go about inquiring whether my father attended Morgan Academy in Dundee sometime in the 1930s. Thank you.

Suggest you start by asking the City of Dundee Archives. If they don't have the information they should know where it is, if it has survived.

Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Another place you might try is their former pupils website - who knows someone there may know if there are records to the 1930's.

www.morganacademyfp.com (I hope)

Also google Morgan Academy and you find lots of info and pictures.

Good luck as my dad was brought up in Dundee but he went to Logie School

Thank you Dorrie. I've written to the Archivist at Morgan Academy so hopefully I'll get an early response.

A bit late to be replying, but I have class photos taken at the Morgan from about 1935 (5 years old) to  1945/6 (as 15 year olds).  If these dates fit I can try to find the photos and scan and post/email.
