Hi all, For all those Scottish researchers, this is just to let you know that Wayne McKirdy has just released the 1857 Death Index for Lanark. The McKirdy Scottish Death Index is an index of death certificates between the years 1855-1875 & because Lanark is so large, it is being indexed 1 year at a time. So far he has released on fiche: Bute 1855-1875 Clackmannan 1855-1875 Kinross 1855-1875 Sutherland 1855-1875 Lanark 1855, 1856, 1857 In case you have not used these indexes before - the index contains all the info on a death certificate EXCEPT 1. Day & month & time of death 2. Address of deceased 3. Cause of Death 4. Date & name of Registrar Extras - number & registration district of the certificate & LDS film number where the certificate can be found. This & the other already published indexes can be obtained from http://www.genealogy.org.nz/ Looking at the site, they have not as yet added the above item, but it can be ordered. The different McKirdy indexes for Scotland can only be bought here. Look in the "What's New" column on the left. I do not have any connection to Wayne McKirdy or this product; I'm just an avid user.
