Scottish Borders nonconformist indexes join Ancestry

Ancestry (www.ancestry.co.uk) has added third party web indexes to its site linking to three datasets of Scottish nonconformist records (i.e. non-Church of Scotland), created by Graham and Emma Maxwell, and mostly from the Borders area.

The collections are:

Web: Scotland, Non-OPR Births and Baptisms Index, 1666-1874
http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=70829

Web: Scotland, Non-OPR Banns and Marriages Index, 1656-1875
http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=70830

Web: Scotland, Non-OPR Deaths and Burials Index, 1673-1855
http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=70831

The datasets redirect to the couple's Scottish Indexes website at www.scottishindexes.com - details of areas covered by these collections is available at www.scottishindexes.com/coveragebmd.aspx

NB: Further information on Scottish church records, from the established church and the nonconformist denominations, is available in my book Discover Scottish Church Records (2nd edition), available for sale in a print edition in Canada and Australia (see http://britishgenes.blogspot.co.uk/p/my-books.html)

The books is also available worldwide via Genealogy e-Books at www.gen-ebooks.com/discover-scottish-church-records-2nd-ed.html.
