Good morning George & Claire, Don't spend money looking for Marine Deaths on "Scotland's People " - they aint there ! "Minor Records - Marine Deaths " have not yet been digitised. I was in New Register House yesterday researching men lost at sea and their details can only be accessed through using the fiche - with no print out facility. I understand, unofficialy, there are no plans to have these on line in the near future. Regards. John. John D. Stevenson, Trinity Research Services, Scottish Maritime History Research.

Thanks John, I wasn't aware of that. I too have merchant navy ancestors but don't have the foggiest idea where to start looking for them!
