Forthcoming ScotlandsPeople BMD update

News on the forthcoming BMD update from ScotlandsPeople (www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk), due January 1st 2014:

Release of the New Year's images on ScotlandsPeople – birth images for 1913, marriage images for 1938 and death images for 1963

The arrival of 2014 also means that the New Year's images will be made available on the ScotlandsPeople website. So just after you've seen in the bells at midnight on the 1st of January, you'll be able to view the images of the statutory records for births in 1913, marriages in 1938 and deaths in 1963.

The total number of BMD images that will be released on the website on 1 January is 94,537, comprising 46,109 birth images, 23,310 marriage images and 25,118 death images. We've been looking at some of the BMD records that will be published on New Year's Day, and have uncovered some terrific personal stories behind the documents. Some highlights - and some fascinating statistics - from the New Year images will be featured in our January 2014 newsletter.

The latest ScotlandsPeople newsletter (Dec 2013)  is available at http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/Content/Help/index.aspx?r=2231
