Thank you. I have reg with Scottish People.The only problem I have found is when searching the births no image is available so the only way to check is to order certs which will be costly as Watson a very common name :-0

Just to add to what Flick said, Scotlands People is an excellent web site and has been invaluable to me as both myparents were from Scotand, Good Luck !

You could start in the usual way, by looking on here in 'search trees'

Unfortunately, Scottish bmd info is not as readily available as that for England/Wales, and there are much more stringent rules about cut-off years. Check Scotlands people website for the facts.............
