If any of you are so fortunate as to be this far back in your histories, The Court Books of Shetland and Orkney, covering ca 1600-1643 might be of use.  Only 2 or 3 have been transcribed and should be available in some Scotland libraries.  The originals (if accessible) should be at GRO in Edinburgh.  They were in 1962 when a cousin of mine (Robert S. Barclay) transcribed the 1612-1613 records.
