Scotland's People

The scotlandspeople.gov.uk web site has been a great source for my genealogical research of my family. Now they have updated their web site, now I loved their old web site and was afraid that I wouldn’t like the new site, I guess I am getting more conservative as I get older. Once I got into the new site I realized that it was actually much better than the old site. The new site for one thing has photos that might relate to the lives of my ancestors that the old site didn’t have and hopefully they will get more photos over time.
          When I went to the old site I had to go each category like births, marriages and deaths after 1856, from 1513 to 1856, each UK Census from 1841 to 1911, Valuations and Legal Records. Now with the new site you just put in all the information you have on your ancestor and it will search all the records for you. Which makes it a lot easier and could catch records you might have missed.
          You pay by credits, they have added Pay Pal and American Express making easier to pay also.

          If you have Scottish Ancestors this is a great site to find information your family.
