Hi all, most of my dads family are all Scottish and I am finding it really hard to find any info on anyone.

Does anyone have any tips? I know I can't reasearth them on GR but if anyone else knows a decent site that would be great.

This is also an excellent site:

http://scotfamtree.11.forumer.com

Lots of useful information and helpful people who will do look-ups for you.
It costs nothing to register and use the basic parts of the site.

This is a similar one too:

I use ScotlandsPeople and find it a very good site. With this site you get to see a copy of the birth / marriage / Death record and Scottish records contain more information - like mothers maiden on marriage records - much more than English records.

Well worth buying the credits and taking a look
