Hi Welcome, you have basically accessed the system. If you have a query or need help just ask and hopefully someone can help by either answering your query or pointing you in the right direction. http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/ is the place to start, you can download the register entry of birth for your grandfather and that will have his parents names. You can then work backwards to earlier generations. Your best option is to register with Scotlandspeople. You then purchase credits to access the information.
