Description
About ScotlandsPeople
A partnership between the General Register Office for Scotland, the National Archives of Scotland, The Court of the Lord Lyon and Scotland On Line, ScotlandsPeople is the official online source of parish register, civil registration, census and wills & testaments records for Scotland.
Containing over 50 million records, the ScotlandsPeople database is one of the worlds largest resources of genealogical information and one of the largest single information resources on the Web. We provide a fully searchable index of Scottish births from 1553-1905, marriages from 1553 to 1930 and deaths from 1855 to 1955. In addition, indexed census data is available from 1841 to 1901 as well as Scottish Wills & Testaments from 1513 to 1901. To respect privacy of living people, internet access has been limited to birth records over 100 years old, marriage records over 75 years, and death records over 50 years.
From the results of an index search made on this site you may view, save and print images of many of the original documents, and order extracts of any register entries of interest. Such requests are forwarded automatically to New Register House, and the requested extracts are mailed to you (airmail in the case of overseas orders).
