James Potter Burnie wrote about Scottish Origins, that WONDERFUL! resource: and this was the start of his second para: > All that is on the LDS/IGI is on there, also every and each record from 1854 > is available there. Plus OPRs and census prior to 1854. Not quite true. The LDS/IGI and the Scots Origins service are BOTH essential to our craft and there's good stuff in each that you'll NOT find in the other. Even more complete than Scots Origins are the sources IN New Register House. You can search the records of quite young living persons. Cheers......... ALISTAIR (Alec) CAMERON
