Thanks a lot McVitie
I got the free credits and had the exact date for a wedding in 1913 at Newcraighall
the information I got was fantastic I would have never have paid.
As it is not my tree but the sister in law asked me to look for hers I got free credits in minutes.
The information I got put me into the scottish censuses plenty of work to do tommorow just like christmas when I was a child.
Thanks again for the information.

Good luck, especially with Wigtownshire. It's my family's neck of the woods, that is, in 1800!


Wigtownshire is what Í'm interested in, up to 1834 when my people bailed out and went to the USA.  Do you have any tips or special sources I should know about?  The surnames of interest are Logan and Conning.

The 'register' page isn't loading for me. Is it working for anyone else?

This is a pretty good resource for Wigtownshire:

I signed up for their news letter, got an email but didnt get the voucher code for the 10 free credits!
 ???
I initially thought they had stopped giving them away, however it still says it on their website.
has anyone else come accross this?

does anyone know of another way to get free credits  ;)

Hi Sarah

This has come up a number of times in the last few weeks. Not sure if anyone has got to the bottom of it. Might be worth contacting Ancestral Scotland to ask what is happening regarding their offer as it is clearly still being promoted on their site  :-\

Unfortunately, this is the only promotion for free credits that I am aware of at present  :-\
