Hello,list Thank you for the suggestions you have given me. I now know I need to get hold of the birth certificate for Vera Walker born in 1920. I dont know when. I went on Scotlandspeople but the records end 1904 - if I have read that right. Is there a site I can find where and when in 1920? Carolyn

CArolyn: There is a privacy act regarding birth records. The Scottish was 100 years, for births and census. That is why you will only be able to get records up to 1904. The marriage and death records are less in time, with the marriages up to the 1920's and the deaths up to 1954. I don't know about Scotland, but in Canada you can get records if you are a direct descendant. As the millenium approached we were all waiting for those records to be released....it answered a lot of questions but created more because now we all want to find more about the names found in those records. I now know of so many more names to add and I realize....SOMEWHERE in Scotland, there could be relatives my age, who just might have stories to share with me....and I can't find them! Researching: DEMPSTER, FRASER, SWAN, LINDSAY, MILL(S), LAING, SYME, KEMP,BILLSON, COWIE, MONCUR, BRASH, KING, GIBSON, DICKSON. These are the most recent names. There are more back in the OPR era, but these interest me most. I only started out with Dempster, Lindsay, Mills, Kemp, Fraser and Swan.
