Nice! Congratulations on the find.

Glad to hear the indexes are being improved. I always have to weigh the cost to look at a record against the potential for it being the right person. Better indexes should mean easier choices.

Signed up for a two week trial of #TheGenealogist (UK #genealogy focused) website, keen to check some tithe records, but also keen to try the site from a general genealogy search perspective. Sadly I found it very unintuitive to use. Often googling and coming in externally to site that way was more help. It is also relatively poor for Scottish records. My favourite general genealogy website (not counting #ScotlandsPeople which is best for me) is #Ancestry. Find it most intuitive. #FamilyHistory

@AllieNickell @Julie_Gfamily Well #ScotlandsPeople do gift vouchers so I think it’s high time the #GRO did too! Hopefully in time for my birthday. 😂

Who needs #betAntWin aka #bwin if you can search for names at #NationalArchivesUK or #ScotlandsPeople and then have to decide if you want to invest a few bucks to actually SEE the document or not?

How are we doing with the #ScotlandsPeople census details for 1921, released today?

Anyone found anything interesting/new in their family?

I hope to spend some time on it over the weekend

@oldscotbooks my grandfather left Glasgow with his parents and eight siblings in 1921 after the census so I am excited to see this census! #genealogy #ScotlandsPeople

Just reported yet another technical fault in the new ScotlandsPeople site. Which means that a search that should just find my granddad and his 2 cousins now finds 439,343 results. The names that begin with search for forename “Thomas Cavers” is matching anyone with a forename Thomas. I have been running into all sorts of issues this afternoon. Major sympathies with anyone who needs to use the site for professional genealogical research.

Well ScotlandsPeople came back, but no sign of the 1921 Scottish census. Boo! The website is slightly reincarnated. I'm finding bugs. A general date search narrowed to OPRs wrongly populates date fields in next search form eg 17000101-18540101 instead of 1700-1854. Which is rejected for any new search. Reported. More worryingly the first image I've bought on new site is 30 years wide of the index ref. Have asked for correct image or refund.
