Dear Listers, my last computer "blew" and I lost all my good genealogy web addresses. If anyone can furnish a (some) web address would be grateful. Most interested in thos re Scottich records. (What ever happened to Scots Origins? Thanks Juanita Patterson
Hi Juanita Here are a few addresses that should be of use to you: http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk Official site for the General Register Office of Scotland. This is where you can search the indexes of births, marriages and deaths, and download scanned images of specific pages from the various registers. £6 buys you 30 credits and 48 hours of search time. Viewing one page of search results costs 1 credit, and viewing 1 scanned page costs 5 credits. Credits are carried forward for future sessions if you don't use them all up in the 48 hours allowed. The Scots Origins site is still around (http://www.scotsorigins.com) but no longer hosts the official GROS indexes, which are now available via the Scotlands People website listed above. Scots Origins continues to offer some other (paid) services, and also offers free access to their own search indexes of the International Genealogical Index. Quite useful, as they offer some different searches to those available on the Family Search website (see below). http://www.scottishdocuments.com This is where you can search for old Scottish wills and testaments. If you find one you want, you can purchase and download a scanned copy of the pages recording the document in the relevant Books of Session. Cost per document (regardless of number of pages) = £5. http://www.familysearch.org The genealogy website of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. You can search the LDS indexes to the International Genealogical Index here for free. HTH!
