SCT http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/nescotland NE Scotland Genealogy Genealogy site relating to the north-east of Scotland with lots of old documents, records, lists and graveyard sites. SCT http://www.scotsfind.org "It has a wealth of databases that have been digitised by scanning and proofing old publications of (e.g.) the Scottish Record Society and British Record Society, then formatting and placing them in PDF format. The databases include marriage registers, rolls of burgesses and guild-brethren, apprentice registers, registers of testaments (wills), church records from Kirkcaldy and South Leith, local records from Dysart, court cases (processes and decreets), a list of Sottish surname variants and surname-specific databases for the surnames Dryburgh, Kinloch, Lumsdale and Oliphant. Some databases cover all of Scotland while others are specific to Edinburgh, Midlothian, Fife, Hamilton, Campsie and Inverness. A glossary/Scots dictionary is also included. The databases are all free to view and made available by ScotsFind LLC, a not-for-profit organisation from Indiana, which has put together a site that's well worth exploring if you have Scots ancestors."
