Scottish Genealogy: Finding and Understanding Civil Registration Records

Alison Spring
Free

To follow on from my pre-1855 Scots research webinar, here I’ll talk about what to expect when researching in the post-1855 civil registration records of Scotland, with detailed explanations about the contents of birth, marriage & death records. I’ll also demonstrate how to search the ScotlandsPeople website for these records, and show you where else to find them.
