Title: births deaths and marriage index
Post by: erica 52 on Thursday 12 June 08 07:09 BST (UK)

excuse my ignorance for Scottish history, I haven't had to look here before so have no idea where to start. ::)
Is there a site for searching births, deaths and marriage registrations.

Thankyou in advance

regards
Erica

Hi Erica

Hope you enjoy your Scottish research  ;)

There's a good guide here on Rootschat by Pam www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,24468.0.html which outlines research resources and what you will find on certificates etc.

Good luck!

Monica  :)
