Hi, just starting out on our genealogy journey, 2 generations back, our families were in Ireland and Scotland. How do we look up their details online? Thanks!

Scotlandspeople

You need to purchase credits £7 for 30 credits - usually enough to view 5 images

The site has scottish census 1841 to 1911, BMD's from 1855 but there are restrictions as to what you can view online. Parish records before 1855

Ancestry has the transcription for 1841 to 1901 Scottish census

Also use familysearch
