This
index consists solely of names with birth or marriage information and
in some cases, children |
|
|
|
or parent names
of deceased individuals. One can look up an ancestor's name and see if
it had been |
|
|
|
previously researched
and submitted to us. The time periods covered here go from 1500's to this |
|
|
|
century. If you
find the name listed, one could save hours of research. Along with the
name will be |
|
|
|
the birth or marriage
information and a place that birth or marriage took place. One also gets
the |
|
|
|
source of the
information which could be another individual, church or census records
that were |
|
|
|
microfilmed years
ago. This information is available on microfiche, CD-ROM and the LDS Family
|

source for information
on names, dates and places of your Scottish ancestors.These are the most |
| |
|
widely used records
that are available for the time period before 1855 when the government

with civil registration. They include almost 70% of the population in
Scotland at |
| |
|
that time. The
