Default Index to the Services of Heirs in Scotland 1700-1859 - Familysearch

As far as I know, you have to browse through.

Yes you have to browse.

The records are set out in a small year span ie 1707-1709, 1710-1719 and are alphabetical within the time frame, so you need to have an idea when someone died.

I've just made an alphabetical list of all the surnames I'm looking for, and I'm just going to scroll through from the beginning and see what I find. I've already found one of my ancestors in there.

You're good, I've only looked for one surname. I still can't work out when someone died although if the surnames were different I wouldn't see it.

I'm going to go back and see if I can find my man alive, not dead.

The date when the name of a deceased person appears in the index doesn't necessarily show when they died, anyway, Toni, as there can be a very long gap between the death and the listing.

And apparently the pre-1700 records are included in the links on here:
