Research Notes

I have not purchased or viewed the actual BMD records, relying solely upon the Scotlandspeople indices. More often than not, the record itself for older church registrations provides little more than what is shown in the index. My choices have basically relied upon the Scottish given name convention for the naming of children and the birth locations of the offspring. Birth dates may actually be christening date; marriage dates, actually reading of the bans; and death dates, actually the burial date.
