Hi all!
Just traced a branch of my tree back to Scotland and Im having trouble finding a particular person.

I wondered if one of you lovely people might have access to the Scottish birth/marriage records? I need to look up a couple of bits!

Any help would be brilliant!!!

Thank you, Elliot.

What you seek can be found on the site Scotlandspeople. Unfortunately it is not a subscription site but its records can be accessed on a pay per view basis via the purchase of credits.

Don't put off until tomorrow doing what you can do today. If you like doing it today you can do it again tomorrow.

Lots of free Scottish records on familysearch - upto approx 1875 for some areas. Ancestry has transcriptions of all censuses expcept 1911. If you get stuck, give some details and perhaps somebody can help.
