Once an adopted person has access to her or his original birth details they may be able to trace the names of their grandparents through the records held by the Registrar General for Scotland or his equivalent.The Registrar General for Scotland must also maintain an index of the entries in the Adopted Children Register, and keep such other information to enable a connection to be made between an entry in the Adopted Children Register and the adopted person's original birth details.The Registrar General for Scotland may only provide such information to the adopted person themselves, specified counsellors acting on their behalf, or if ordered to do so by Order of the Court.
