It’s here, as promised.
The redesigned site “make(s) accessing Scotland’s records easier than ever with quick, simple searching of our birth, marriage, death and census records.”
You’ll still find the same records documenting the lives of millions of Scots over centuries, as well as recently added record sets, including
Church records
Taxation records
Employment records
Prison records
Wills & testaments
Maps & Plans, and much more
There’s also a “streamlined certificate-ordering process that gives you speedy access to vital documents” and “a new, dedicated help and support section that will help if you encounter problems.”
To search Scotland’s People’s records, you need to be logged into your account or register. Fortunately, the account details saved on my computer continued to work. The site recognized a document I’d purchased years ago and displayed it without requiring me to purchase it again.
I used it yesterday with no problem. It remembered me fine and the fact that I had no credits left! Easy to use.
I too had no issues with the new site. Others seem less happy than me, but then I don’t use it a lot as the research I do there is on my husband’s side and I’ve gathered a fair amount already. At some point I’ll try the new ordering service.
Grat news. Thanks John. Cheers, BT
