Dear List Members, I have been researching for twenty years but have done very little for the last five and am therefore unsure of where to find wills after 1900. Have just registered on Scotland's People and see that the wills there are only up to 1901. Have also registered with Ancestry, Lost Cousins & Genes Reunited and on a tree in Ancestry it shows my great grandfather dying in 1965. Is it usual to get a researcher to get a will? Do they still transcribe births, marriages and deaths as well? I need some of those records the images of which are not on Scotland's People as yet. Hoping you can help, Cherilyn in Melbourne
