Thank you to all who replied. It has been a very interesting time. I have learned so much even though I have been researching since 1990 (the old way of getting the original films out thru the Morman church and spending thousands of hours recording my people). I am unable to do this anymore however. Excuse my ignorance but what does (sic) mean? I find it quite incredible that James Allan McMillan marries first to Elizabeth Munro then after her death marries Margaret Campbell and calls one of their children Elizabeth Munro McMillan who apparently marries Robert Waddell. I wonder how many wives today would allow that! or am I wrong? I think I will wait till someone visits me who owns a credit card and give them the cash so I can have a wonderful time! on Scotlands people. It was very helpful to have explained abt 6 pounds being abt $12.74 NZ and this would buy 90 credits. If I have it right 12 credits would buy a death and marriage certificate. So how much for a copy of a census page? Thank you to all the people who have helped - it has been really appreciated.

This can be done relatively cheaply through _www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk_ (http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk) I looked up the marriage for you 1888 Robert Timpnay (sic) Waddell married Elizabeth Munro McMillan Glasgow Lanark You would have to purchase 30 credits at £6, and 6 each would get you the death and marriage certificates (1 for the look-up and 1 to see the certificate).
