Can anyone recommend some good websites to research the scottish side of my tree

Scotlands people. It is apay site but you can download the images so saves buying certs. I wish my family came from Scotland the details on the BMD are fantastic. Good hunting Pat

Someone may have a few spare credits and could do you a lookup. Sorry I`ve none just now . Who are you looking for? Rosalyn

Melissa Thanks for that does that include the scottish islands as mine came from Isle of Lewis? Sue............ can you print the bmd certificates? I believe that gives you more info than the England ones is that right. Sue

Sue Scotlands people is a great site you can print off the certificates, I wish the English sites were as good. I think the whole of scotland is covered including the small islands. It is well worth investing £6. Georgina.

Baby Butterfly.... These are all the Cadogan's on the 1881 scottish census, how old was Janet when she died and was Cadogan her married or maiden name? CADOGAN, Mary Ann Head <1828> Engl Forf CADOGAN, John Lodg <1838> Irel Cait CADOGAN, Mary Ann Dau <1852> Angu Forf CADOGAN, Alexandrina Dau <1856> Angu Forf CADOGAN, Edward Son <1858> Angu Forf Georgina

I have used Scotlands People and have traced my family back to the early 1800's still working on going back further would recommend this site as it has lots of information. Sheila

A tip about Scotland's People - yes, it is great. But always search on FamilySearch first in case whatever you are looking for is on there for free! Especially anything pre-civil registration. Because costs can very quickly mount up on Scotland's People. Kate.

There is one Janet Cadogan born in 1892 in scotland, sorry I dont have any credits left to look at the image. Georgina.

If I join Scot.people can I view a birth cert for 1919? Don't now much about this site. Does it work much the same as England. I was going to buy the cert to give me a starting point, but if you can view on screen this would be cheaper? Hope this makes sense

Janet Birth's only go up to 1904 in Scotlandspeople.Marriages up to 1929. You can print off the images of them. Worth £6,and a week to use up your credit. Marion
