Hi Listers Try this web-site. The Scotsman - Scotlands National Newspaper - has gone on-line. http://archive.scotsman.com/Default/Skins/TSPLa/Client.asp?skin=TSPLa&daily=TSC&enter=true&AppName=2&GZ=T&FromWelcome=False&AW=1101829896132 If you have difficulty with the above URN try going in through the Scotsman Web-site. http://www.scotsman.com/ This is a quote from the web-site :- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Search every edition of The Scotsman between 1817 and 1900 in our unique online archive. Find out if an ancestor of yours appears in our births, marriages and deaths notices, or even in a news story. Read contemporary accounts of events such as: the Highland Clearances; the Burke and Hare trial; the inauguration of the Wallace Monument. The archive will soon be extended up to 1950 and eventually to the present day. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Best Wishes Les --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi everyone, well I paid my 6 pounds. Unfortunetly as it turned out I only got 4 hours on out the the 24, but never mind. Got some good stuff never the less. I am lucky the ancestors I was looking for were involved in public life and had uncommon names. The key I guess to using it is like anything, being smart with your searches, use combos of the and places,and or occupations, I used "William Dods" and Haddington, Provost and Dods and haddington, "Provost Dods" , Dods and Seedsman, or used two related surnames like Dods and Sherriff. For someone like me on the other side of the world, this is a god send. I checked out a few pre 1855 death notices & I was wondering are there indexes for these that were published in other papers? Thank you Les and others for bring this site to my attention. cheers John Dods Wellington, New Zealand --- Les HORN <Leshorn@ythanonich.freeserve.co.uk> wrote: > Hi Listers > Try this web-site.
