Register Offices

For example, proof of death and close family relationship can make more recent records available that would otherwise be restricted by privacy laws.

Birth, death and marriage historical searches You can carry out family history searches. There are two types of search - a general search or a particular search. You can make an appointment to do this in any registration office in Fife. Links to Fife registration offices are on this page.
