Borthwick Births, Scotland 1890-93 2

Borthwicks in the General Index to Births for Scotland,
1890-1893

The following details have been transcribed from the films of the General Index to Scottish births. These Indexes are separately orderable for Births, Marriages or Deaths. The Latter Day Saints, Family History Centres (FHCs) filmed the original books, so there are no convenient books to look at - only microfilm to roll through again and again.

I met Meg Greenwood via one of the Rootsweb message lists and her generosity is incredible. She has copied and scanned and posted Borthwick index information to me from over 100 years of indexes. She is the primary source of all the information on these pages. I will be typing and creating web pages for many months before I manage to get it all uploaded so please come back and visit every now and then to see how this international cooperative project is progressing.

Meg advises that Scotland published yearly books of ALL the folks who were Bred, Wed or Dead in any particular year. They began this book-making process in 1855, with the advent of Civil Registration. It is ongoing today. The FHCs filmed the indexes for 1855 to about 1955, each in a separate microfilm for Bs, Ms and Ds. They are each orderable at any FHC. If you go to the New Register House in Edinburgh, you can access the index books up to about 1999. The FHCs stopped filming long ago, but it is a godsend to have these for the 'dark years' of 1900 to now. Without censuses available, these Indexes are prime databases.

Format for the Indexes is:
Surname, Given name, District where birth took place, Entry number in that district's Birth Registry book.

My apologies for the formatting of this list. I have not yet mastered the art of turning Word tables and Excel documents into nice neat lists for the Web. As soon as I learn I will reformat. In the meantime I figure that it is of more importance to get the information out there to help other Borthwick researchers.
