Dear Francine
Have a look at the links page on my website - GRO (S) (General Register
Office for Scotland) "Scots Origins" to find Birth Marriage and Death
Certificates from 1855 in Scotland, and OPR (Old Parish Registry) entries
back to 1553 - there are very few records for other than the nobility before
that.
Yours aye
Iain
