Origins Expert Research on Scots Origins
Scots Origins features online ordering of transcriptions of official Scottish Birth, Marriage and Census records via Scotland's leading researchers, Scottish Roots. Scottish Roots will locate, transcribe and email the information from the original record. In order to order a Scots Origins Experts transcription (formerly "Sightings"), you will need some initial information to help us find the record.
Free IGI Search
The original indexes to the Old Parish Registers were captured by teams led by the Genealogical Society of Utah (GSU), and are included within the International Genealogical Index (IGI) accessible on the Family Search web site. The IGI has indexes to over 90% of the birth and marriage OPRs, and often you will find both birth date and baptism date included there, while the GROS index almost invariably has only one or the other.
Our improved interface to the IGI offers advanced search capabilities not available directly through the Family Search web site. Our powerful capabilities include the ability to search directly by parish, retrieve surname only results for all names in a particular county and district, and view all names in a particular parish by year.
Users can order Scots Origins Expert research online and access all Free services by selecting "Scots Origins" the right hand menu.
