The following was issued from Glasgow Registrars at the end of last week, concerning the Genealogy Centre:
Due to the ongoing challenges of the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, the Genealogy Centre - run by Glasgow City Council's Registrars Services at the Mitchell Library (ScotlandsPeople Family History) will remain closed and bookings will not be taken until further notice.
Whilst we were hoping to confirm a re-opening date for the Family history Centre in the coming weeks, due to pressures elsewhere in the service, the decision has been taken to push back the date in order to allow our staff the necessary time to work through the extensive backlog of high priority statutory duties that we are dealing with at the moment.
We understand that this is frustrating for some of our citizens/service users, however, rest assured our team continue to work hard and we are hopeful that we will be in a position to re-open the centre soon. All updates will be provided on our website (https://glasgow.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=17698) when any further information is available.
Thank you for your continued patience and support as we continue to face the challenges of the ongoing pandemic and the impact on our resources and services.
This leaves Alloa and Glasgow the only centres at present not offering some form of access.
