Veneta, Scotland's people do not do a subscription service they are bound by the terms of a licence and the payment model is approved by the Scottish Parliament. There has been no move at the Parliament yet to permit an annual subscription to access their records. Sadly not enough people have pressured their MSP to ask for the change. > Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2014 16:26:58 +0000 > From: ray7033@gmail.com > To: aberdeen@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [ABERDEEN] ScotlandsPeople > > Hi Veneta > > I have seen no announcement of a subscription service.

Thanks for your feedback! It’s too bad there isn’t an option for a subscription. I believe it would draw more people to the collection if there were. When I already know the document I want is in the collection, I may not mind paying ‘too much’ for a single image, but if I need to research the records to find the document, it would cost way too much. Shall we start a campaign??

Venita wrote..... Or is there another site where I can see the OPRs? Venita, Have you found the families on ScotlandsPeople? At least with the OPRs you are able to use a parent search! Why not download the search pages for 1 credit each then check the FamilySearch site to see if those Parishes have been filmed and order either.... 1. the film to your nearest FH centre ....or 2. use the FamilySearch digitised copy service which I believe is free for up to a certain number of entries at one time. The search pages usually give you a Frame No. on each entry so it makes ordering not too difficult. Regards Jenny --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
