Hiya McVitie

Thanks for the suggestion. I have just obtained my 10 free Credits for Scotlands People.

We probably will be going to Scotland again shortly, when the weather in Dumfries & Galloway improves! I hear that it's been much better in the Western Isles though. :D

Mine arrived immediately by e-mail.

You have to register eventually with Scotlandspeople, if you haven't already, then you can use the credits.

OK, I have my 10 free credits.  Are there any search tips that will help me not waste my small capital?  Meanwhile, I'm in SP reading the help section.

Don't let yourself be carried away. Try and be as accurate as you can be with the little amount of information that you know.

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