Chris Paton yesterday shared good news about ScotlandsPeople on his blog, Scottish GENES.
He wrote, “ScotlandsPeople has added a million or so mother’s maiden names to its online death record indexes, from between 1855 and 1880.”
ScotlandPeople’s announcement opened with, “We are pleased to advise that updates are currently being made to the mother’s maiden name search field in the statutory register of deaths index, as part of our ongoing improvements to our website and in response to your requests in our customer survey.”
The rest of the announcement can be found on Mr. Paton’s blog in the above link.
