Scottish Paternity Index
This is an index to Scottish paternity cases. Most entries relate to children born to unmarried parents where the mother of the child took the father to court to prove he was the father and force him to pay maintenance. So far the database includes over 42,000 entries taken from Sheriff Court records and Kirk Session records. To see which records are included please see our coverage page. You can learn more about the records we have indexed in our Learning Zone.
