Default Scottish Birth Indexes

I keep reading that mmn is included in index information for Scottish births from 1929, but I can't find anything that tells me where this information can be sourced.

Anyway, if you search the Catalogue on FamilySearch for Scotland, and choose Civil Registration, then click on Registers of births, marriages and deaths... it seems that they have digitised the indexes, including birth indexes up to 1956. I assume those would be the version with MMN on post-1929, but of course you can only view them at FamilySearch Centres. I knew they had Scottish indexes on microfiche or microfilm but I didn't know they had digitised them. I wish FreeBMD could transcribe those copies.

From the National Records of Scotland website (and other sites presumably referring back to it):

Quote:
Statutory Indexes of Births, Deaths and Marriages

The statutory indexes from 1855 to the present day have been computerised since 1989. Today they include links to digital images of the register entries.
The index entry includes name, registration district, registration district number and entry number.

- the birth index includes mother’s maiden name from 1929 (we are adding this data to earlier entries)
I will have to find out what's happening with my 'local' FamilySearch Centre as last time I looked it was having a very long 'temporary' closure!

Yes, it is a bit odd I agree, Merry, but can only assume that NRS and Scotland's People don't talk to each other.

Strange, as the latter is contracted by the former to be the public online link. Yet another branch of the DC Thomson empire.
