Success! Finally, after about 5PM Pacific Daylight Time I am a member of OFHS and am a happy researcher.  Thanks Janeology.

Just for the record and in case you find ancestors elsewhere in Orkney, the 1821 census for South Ronaldsay and Burray are available online along with OPR records from those islands as well.

I have found this site to be extremely useful for my ancestors who lived on South Ronaldsay.
