Scotland Resources / Link: Watt Library online index of BMDs
« on: Saturday 05 July 08 23:03 BST (UK) »
Inverclyde Council has published an online index to BMDs in the Greenock, Gourock and Port of Glasgow area. The Watt Library Index of Births, Marriages and Deaths is compiled from the announcements made in local newspapers from the early nineteenth century to around 1913. The work is still ongoing and when complete will contain over 100,000 names.
I've just had a look at it and it is really informative and could be very useful to anybody with ancestors in this area of Scotland. (Lots of families where the men are seafarers or associated professions.)
