Further information on the new Scottish MIs released from Deceased Online:
Records for 50 Scottish burial sites being added
First records online now!
• www.deceasedonline.com is uploading tens of thousands of headstone
and memorial transcriptions from over 50 burial grounds and cemeteries
across Scotland over the next few weeks
• Data for the first 15+ burial grounds mostly in the Highlands region are
immediately available with records for Dundee, Edinburgh, Lanarkshire,
the Lothians, Perth and other areas to be added shortly
• Users can search these records specifically by using advanced search,
selecting ‘collections. They can then either purchase access to a whole
cemetery/churchyard collection or, for a reduced fee, just the subset of
headstone images with inscriptions containing specific surnames.
• Useful tip: once you have purchased a collection or subset there is the
facility to search the collection for anything. For example, you can search
for such words as ‘drowned’ or ‘killed’ and all relevant references from
memorial inscriptions will be highlighted.
• The records date back to the 17th century with many from remote burial
sites. See full details in the database coverage section at
www.deceasedonline.com.
