Does ancestralscotland.com provide genealogical data to help me draw my family tree?

Unfortunately not - that would require us to hold an unfathomably large amount of data on every family who lived in Scotland. However, there are three main ways of researching your Scottish family tree - you may find the best results come from a combination of two or three of these:
- Visit the General Register Office for Scotland in Edinburgh
- Use ScotlandsPeople.gov.uk the official pay-per-view website
- Employ a professional researcher or an established firm.  A list of these is available on the ASGRA (Association of Scottish Genealogists & Researchers in Archives) website.
