Hi, Does anyone know if the records at Park Circus for Births Marriages and Deaths include East Lothian or do I have to go to Edinburgh to get them. I'm sure someone told me they were going to be added this year.I am going on Thursday 24th November.
Thanks Helen

Hi Helen,
Yes, you'll be able to see them as digital images - through the computer link-up to NRH Edinburgh.
But if they are difficult to read then Park Circus won't have the microfiche outwith the Strathclyde area to help (sometimes the fiche is clearer).
This page gives what they have -

--
One snag is you can't use *wildcards* like you can on Scotlandspeople - surnames are as they are on the GROS index.
So if you have names with a variety of spellings then you may have problems tracing them.
But if they are in Strathclyde area there are name indexes for each year on fiche to look at.

Enjoy your visit - lucky you!

Jack

Good advice from Jack.

If you haven't searched at Park Circus before then be prepared to search by year. I found it quite a bit of getting used to when I went there in the summer (plan to go back in December).

Thanks Jack and Annette I have been twice but can't seem to get organised when i'm there, I know what i'm going for but when I get there I seem to get sidetracked into looking something else up. I'll have to try and stick to my original plan this time.

I know the feeling!!

I think it's the child locked in a sweetie shop syndrome.

Just a wee comment on the thread.......... in the sense of wildcards on DIGROS.... the problem is the capacity of the NRH 'puter, along with the severe constraints placed on GROS as regards both inside and outside alterations to New Register House ........

Wildcards on DIGROS are on the NRH wish list, but are probably some years away.

Ohhh I just asked about this on General chat - I'd like to visit to see what I can find.

Would you recommend it?

Hi, Had a good day at Park Circus today got a lot of information it's a lot quicker now looking for births marriages and deaths I even had a look at the census which I had not tried before. I will be booking another visit as soon as I can manage it. I thought it was brilliant and would recommend it. Looking forward to my next visit.
