The Daily Record newspaper is running a promotion now to offer 20 free credits to ScotlandsPeople (www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk), worth £4.50. That's enough for three index searches and three full BMD or census record views, or two wills views. The code is obtainable at http://www.scotlandnow.dailyrecord.co.uk/lifestyle/heritage/trace-your-ancestry-free-credits-5466919 - you may have to answer a survey question first before accessing the article.

ReplyDeleteIs there any ScotlandsPeople free credits about now?
ReplyDeleteI'm not aware of any current promotions.
ReplyDeleteHi I'm doing my research in Scotland. I have come to my 3x great grandmother with the name of Lucy McGregor? My problem is I have never had a Lucy in any of my female lines. I'm unable to find nothing on her?? I'm wondering is Lucy short for another name? Thanks Elaine
