Scottish Genealogy Learning Zone

We are passionate about Scottish genealogy. Through our conferences, we endeavour to share our knowledge and through our indexes, we open up previously inaccessible records to the world.

In this Learning Zone, you can learn about the records we have indexed. We have also written articles on other topics. You can learn about civil registration records, census records, Kirk Session records and more.
