FFHS-NEWS Additions to the ScotlandsPeople website

[News from the Federation of Family History Societies]

ScotlandsPeople has announced that the following records have been added to
their site:

 

1.  New 1881 census indexes and images: this now completes the set of
Scottish census records 1841-1901, uniquely available on ScotlandsPeople.
Please note that this new version is in addition to the current LDS version
of the 1881 census (which does contain images)

2.  Old Parish Records (OPR) Deaths & Burials indexes and images have also
been added from 1538 to 1854 

3.  Coats of Arms 1672-1907 (free to search) have been added.

 

More modern Birth, Marriage and Death (BMD) records have also been added to
the site. This now increases the range of statutory records, so you can
trace your more recent ancestors:

 

Indexes of Scottish births and deaths now run from 1855 to 2006 with
marriages from 1855 to 1933. Indexes to modern marriages will be added later
this year.

Images of births are now available from 1855 to 1908, marriages from 1855 to
1933 and deaths from 1855 to 1958.

 

The address of their website is www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk.
