Paul


the members and the help they give are the most valuable components of this site :-)


Why not try posting a query on either the Find Ancestors or Genealogy Chat Boards and see what help you get ............. you might be amazed at what obscure sites people like Joan know about



and our help is all free :-D

My brother, photo taken in September 1991 just a couple of weeks before he died. ............................................................ To help us and to get better results, please post as much detail as you can, especially name, date(s) and place. Also say what you already know.

short answer, despite the advertising implications, is ....


NO



ancestry has some Scottish Records

you might also find some on the free LDS site .............

www.familysearch.org


otherwise, as LS says, you have to use the Scotlands People site ...................

which is in the same "stable" of companies as GR, ie under the BrightSolid umbrella


Scotlands People is a pay per view site ................... you have to buy credits to look at the records.

Paul ~ I don't use GR's records, I believe they only have transcribed census records for Scotland.

For Scottish records....... www.ScotlandsPeople.gov.uk

Happy hunting.
