Where would I find kirk sessions?  Are they online or do I have to send off for them?  Thanks.

The kirk session records - minute books, books of discipline, account books etc - are held by the National Records of Scotland. They have been digitised, but for the moment they can only be viewed in General Register House in Edinburgh or in a few local archives around Scotland.

There is a plan to make them available on Scotland's People, but I do not know when that is likely to be.


Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
