Hi, Carole, I did indeed go into the Scotlands People website, which is offering access to their records right now.  I entered the request for my great-grandparents, John James SLOWEY and Ellizabeth DAVIDSON, in the section relating to Valuation Rolls.  According to U. S. Census records and to their death certificates, the first two children of John and Elizabeth were born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1864 and on 17 February 1866, respectively.  The website offered Valuation Rolls for 1865, which would have been perfect for my purpose.  The rolls were supposed to show everyone who owned, lived, rented or otherwise occupied every dwelling.  However, when I entered the data for this couple, there were no matches.  Either the SP records are incomplete or the death certificates are incorrect.  Elizabeth Davidson Slowey gave the data for her son's death record, since he was only 21 years old, so I doubt that she would have made a mistake on his birth place.  It's also entirely possible that I missed something in the navigation of the website.  I am a reluctant recruit in the technology revolution! The SP website had a number of interesting categories, so if anyone has ancestors who were connected with Scotland, it would probably be worth checking out.
