Ancestry adds index to Dundee poor law records

Ancestry (www.ancestry.co.uk) has added the following third party index to an existing poor law records collection from the Friends of Dundee City Archives (http://fdca.org.uk):

Web: Dundee, Scotland, Poor Law Indexes, 1854-1878
Ancestry.com. Web: Dundee, Scotland, Poor Law Indexes, 1854-1878 [database on-line]. Lehi, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc., 2021.
Original data: Dundee, Scotland: Friends of Dundee City Archives. http://fdca.org.uk/Index_PoorRegisters.html.

About Web: Dundee, Scotland, Poor Law Indexes, 1854-1878
All data in this third-party database was obtained from the source’s website. Ancestry.com does not support or make corrections or changes to the original database. To learn more about these records, please refer to the source’s website.

Ancestry's description states next to nothing, so here are the collection descriptions from the Friends page itself:

The Data

The data in this database are extracted from two volumes concerning poor relief in Dundee:

    Liff and Benvie Register of Poor, 1854 to 1865 (Dundee Archives - Ref : SC45/48/1)
    Dundee East Poorhouse Register, 1856 to 1878 (Dundee City Archives reference: CP/DE6/1)
