General Register Office for Scotland has a new website that
contains a wealth of Scottish genealogical information. ScotlandsPeople contains
images of the pre-1855 Old Parish Registers of the Church of Scotland and of
the post-1855 statutory register pages, neither previously available on the
Internet. ScotlandsPeople also features articles of genealogical and historical
interest. The primary contractor for this new service is Scotland On Line.
ScotlandsPeople is a "for pay" site. You'll need to
register the first time you access the database. Access to the database costs
£6 (approximately ten Euros or $9.00 in U.S. funds), payable by credit or debit
card. You then receive thirty "page credits" and will have access
for a period of twenty four hours, regardless of how many times you log on and
off in that time. You can purchase additional "page credits" at any
time.
ScotlandsPeople is available at: www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk
