	Brightsolid which owns this site and FMP - I believe also own Scotlandspeople. This is actually mentioned across the bottom of the FMP home page

If you then look at the bottom of the SP site it says "A partnership between General Register Office for Scotland, the National Archives of Scotland and the Court of the Lord Lyon enabled by brightsolid"

	You also have to tske into account that the England & Wales are under the control of the GRO whilst the Scot's records are held by a different body. This also explains why the Scottish BMD's have a totally different format to the English & Welsh records.

	"based on the above ............to me it is false advertising" - indeed; misleading and, I would have thought, contravening the trades descriptions act: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1968/29/pdfs/ukpga_19680029_en.pdf?timeline=true http://www.claims.co.uk/faulty-product/trade-descriptions-act.html

Member Since: February 2011 Posts: 1 Send Message	I've just joined and I am very disappointed, wouldn't have bothered if I had know Scotland was not included in the searches. I've had a look on other trees but the 'hot' ones are not even the same dob I have put in for my relatives. Anything I can do to find out anything at all? :(

	Having just read here http://lostcousins.com/newsletters/lateaug11news.htm "I'm looking forward to findmypast adding transcripts of the Scottish censuses - they are supposed to go online before the end of this year." maybe Scottish census will be in genes reunited after that.
