	The Registrar General for Scotland - ScotlandsPeople
		The Registrar General and his department, in consequence, are leading the world in making its records accessible via the Internet but thats only part of his ambitions.
		Just gathering this volume of data is a logistical nightmare but then the Registrar General and his team have to interpret at least some of it, in order that national and local government can adequately plan the sorts of services that the population has come to expect, or might need in the future.
		These sorts of legislative changes have been part of the meat, bread and butter of all previous registrar generals but what separates Duncan McNiven most strongly from his predecessors, perhaps, is the modern interest some might say obsession with tracing their family or personal history.
