Any tips on how to find my Scotish side of the family. I believe the Scotish Records aren't on line. Any help appreciated. If any one needs help looking up people I am a member of Ancestry.Com Thanks Jan

Jan you need to subscribe to scotlands people web site. It is pay per view £6 gives you 30 credits, a search will cost you 1 credit but to look at the actual certificate or census page will cost you 5 credits. Have you also checked on the family search site, scotland is quite well covered. Georgina.
