The ScotlandsPeople website, www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk  "is the official Scottish Government site for searching government records and archives. In this site you have access to the statutory registers of births, marriages and deaths; census returns; church records; evaluation rolls; and legal records from Scotland's courts of law including Kirk Sessions records".
These include indexes and images.

This class on the ScotlandsPeople website will explore what's on the website, how to register as a user, buy credits, obtain certificates, as well as advice on researching the site.

Guest speaker: Thomas Nelson (presenting from Utah, USA)

Topic: Because so many of the most important records are spread out among 3,200 counties in the USA and governed by the laws of 50 different States, Thomas will present on the challenges of learning and accessing county records - with a focus on the tools, resources, and organisations that can help people attain success in finding their families in the records.

Presentation will be followed with Q&A and then webcasts of relevant topics.
