I'm exploring the scotlandspeople site and I see it's not free. No problem there, but I'm curious what you think of it. Is it extensive enough to be worth the cost? I'm only interested in data BEFORE official registration became mandatory in 1855, because my family members of interest emigrated to Canada by 1835. I can't tell without paying if the pre-1855 records I'd see are worth it. What can you share with me in that regard, please? Thanks tons for the help!
