Dear Friends, If your family is anything like mine, some of your Irish removed to Scotland, probably for work. Who ever thought that coal mining was an opportunity? My McKENNAs! To start the new year off right, Scotland's People offers free index searching* of Catholic Births, Marriages and Deaths in Scotland, here> http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/?utm_campaign=news&utm_medium=email&utm_source=sp&utm_content=756396 * You must register to search. However, they don't provide enough peeks into the docs, so that you can ascertain whether a records is definitively your family. You also have to purchase points for payment as different docs are different points. It's an oversimplification, but you get it. When Scotland's people was new online, I walked away with four generations of my Irish who sojourned in Scotland for a few decades. The records were a genealogist's delight. Lost ancestors? Try Scotland...ya never know. Barb [email protected]
