We are responsible for the registration of births, marriages, civil partnerships, deaths, divorces, and adoptions. We run the Census and we use Census and other data to publish information about population and households. We are the main source of family history records. We hope that our website will help you find what you want to know about Scotland’s people.

This is collection of resources designed to assist those wishing to trace their Scottish Ancestry. We are very lucky in Scotland to have a fairly good system of records for those wishing to trace their family histories. Compulsory registration of Births, Deaths and Marriages was introduced in 1855 and these records are accessible and held by the General Register Office for Scotland. The GRO(S) also hold parish registers before that (the earliest is Errol in Perthshire which goes back to 1553, but most are rather later than this). The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (the Mormons), who have a religious duty to trace their ancestors, have copied the parish records and included them in their databases. Local libraries in Scotland may also hold copies, as will the family history societies, a number of which are listed below. The last major source of information is the GENIUK project which collects information and resources on British (including Scottish) and Irish genealogy.
