Genealogists will find it easier to trace their lineage after council archives became available online this week. Researchers will be able to search 46 collections relating to Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire councils. The collections, which consist of 23,300 entries, include school records, parochial board, poor relief and burial registers, as well as militia records.
The project, which was made possible by a grant from the common good fund, also allows users to scan burial registers and print off certificates for a small fee. Users can buy copies of records for between £1.50 and £5, depending on the nature and age of the document.
