ScotlandsPeople Centre update - OPR deaths and burials
I've just received word from the ScotlandsPeople Centre that it is hoping to update its system in April to include OPR deaths and burials collection pre-1855, which is currently only available on the externally based website at http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk.

The note also mentions that it is hoped that searches using two names for marriages, as was possible on the old fashioned DIGROS system, will also be available in the next couple of months.

(With thanks to the ScotlandsPeople Centre)

Good news, Ina! I stupidly went there last November, thinking I would spend the day browsing through the OPR deaths and ended up leaving and going to NAS instead :roll: Somehow I thought that they had everything that was available on the website :oops:
