http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers.htm gives the LDS IGI Batch Numbers so you can search at www. familysearch.org by individual parishes. For instance, putting C113612 in the [Batch Number] field should return all births in the parish of Killin between 1689 and 1854.

Unfortunately, the LDS website used a database with a limit of only 5000 records (for births, for marriages its less than 3200). For my family, births are not listed in batch C113612 but in batches  7417620, 7417621, 7417622 and 7417623 (which translates as the 20th, 21st, 22nd and 23rd batches transcribed by the LDS on 25jun1974). Looking at those births on the LDS microfiche shows the proper Batch Number of C113612. The same problem exists with batch C113611 (Killin births from 1855 to 1875) and for a lot batches relating to other parishes all over Scotland. The results for these surplus records show the name in CAPITAL letter, to show they are transcribed OPR entries, rather than ancestor records "submitted" by LDS members.
