Birth certificate annotated by the Registrar "Adopted" at Birth

Sorry, I just seem to be asking questions. Why can I can I not access a death cert for 2000? also what is Deceased on Line? Ta

No problem ask all the questions you need answers to and someone will try to give you the answer.

The rules for accessing Birth, Marriage and Deaths online in Scotland are as follows-
Births - less than 100 years, Marriages - less than 75 years and Deaths less than 50 years. This is to protect those who may still be alive. Having said that you can view them in person in Edinburgh or Glasgow (Mitchell Library) but they are closed due to Covid 19 at the moment. However you can order a copy via scotlandspeople.gov.uk  at a cost of £12.00 + postage.

also what is Deceased on Line? Ta

It is a commercial web site that makes available burial records from a large number of local authorities.

Nearly forgot to answer your second question -

Deceased Online UK offers a digital scan of burial/cremation records. Beware though because they state " Where burial or cremation Registers contain information about possible living people the personal details in the scan may be masked to comply with data protection."

Many thanks for your advice but I think I'll keep plodding on with my little bits of paper. No almost knee deep

As usual with lots of help from Roots Chat I have managed to trace the people I was looking for. Still some questions but they will be lost in the mist of time. Many thanks again
