Lunar Thank you, that's brilliant! Jill Thanks for the advice but I don;'t have any other Scottish connections so it's not worth buying credits. Lynne

Have you tried www.scotlandspeople(.)gov(.)uk? You have to buy credits to use the site but you can see the actual entries and save or print off the information you need. I use this site a lot as all my ancestors are scottish. Remove the brackets from the web address. Jill
