Hi, All the bumf on web pages from genes reunited states that it has info on Scotland as well as England/wales but I can't find any details. Can anyone help? everything I try to access for Scottish relatives comes back Nil. I only have sketchy info anyway and thought the Census would have been a good place to start to get basic info. Has anyone else had this problem?

Best place to look is Scotlands People. It is pay to view £6 for 30 credits. Depending on the information you have to start with it can be very useful. What are you looking for and what year as IGI can also be very helpful Margaret

The scottish census is separate from the english one, I think you can only find it on scotlands people website. www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk Sam x
