The civil registration records and indexes are available online at [http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/ http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk]. This is a fee-based website, but the miminum fee of 6 GBP (approx. $10.00; about AU$12.00) gives you access to the database for 90 days, and you have 30 page credits with which you may make searches, see the results, and view documents. (One credit per page of search results viewed and five credits per document viewed.) You may then print a copy of the document at no further cost. It is every much worth the cost. If you are not able to go to the Family History Library to use the microfilms, this is probably a better option for you. | The civil registration records and indexes are available online at [http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/ http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk].
