I 'm at the stage of research now where I have to look at parish records, in this case Scottish. I've been to Scotland's people web site and been through a few searches. |

The truth is, it gets really difficult, and you may neverknow! |

It may be useful to google for family research centres in the area you are looking at .....Fife or whatever. There are some good Scottish sites around. Also, other free genealogy sites such as Rootschat have boards which concentrate on Scottish ancestry. Hope this helps a little. |

If you want to look for deaths in Scotland pre registration they are not available on Scotland's people, although I was assured they would be available soon. Unfortunately that was more than 6 months ago so not quite sure how long soon is! I will be attending the Who do you think you are? event next week if I discover anything I will let you know |

Thanks for all your replies. I might try curious fox. Scotlands people only have death records from 1855 onwards and I am looking at mid to late 1700's so most are long gone by then. The earliest census is 1841 and same problem there too. Thanks once again and wish me luck, |
