The only | The only sites with both an index and census images is 1) [https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/ ScotlandsPeople] ($) which is the government website for Scotland genealogy, and 2) FamilySearch.org for the years 1841-1891 only; however, the indexes are not at this time attached to the images. You must obtain the microfilm number to that Scottish locale for which you are searching (Ancestry.com usually publishes the FamilySearch/Family History Library microfilm number), and click the camera icon next to the locality's name (in the Catalog) in order to view the images (Hint: Ancestry.com publishes the E.D. no. and page number which makes it much easier to find the correct page.) | ||
The other websites only have an index. It is therefore particularly useful to consult two or more of these sites if possible, since you will simply have to trust that their transcriptions are accurate. | The other websites only have an index.
