Just catching up
after Saturday’s SAFHS Conference, looking through some of the leaflets I
picked up.
The Scottish Marriage Index, a
unique and really useful database, is made available by the Anglo-Scottish
Family History Society and can be viewed online at www.anglo-scots.mlfhs.org.uk. It lists Scots who married away
from Scotland.
Searching the database is easy. It’s another source of information on
Scots, to help you break through those brick walls and maybe solve some family
mysteries.
One of my Scotts –
a 3-greats uncle moved away to England and married there and I
haven’t been able to track him down yet. This
database is a great place to start searching and will surely grow as more
people contribute their Strays – and hopefully, one day, I’ll track down my
Scott.
