I’ve only read the text so far but it seems very simple and easy to follow.

 Maybe it might be useful pinned in the resources or useful links section?

Thanks Ruskie...

I actually wondered about that too, will message the mods  :)

It really is good for non Scots tracing their Scottish ancestry as it goes into a lot of detail.

Excellent link Rossini’s, thanks so much.
I was slightly unsure how to view the Kirk session records.
Much appreciated.

Many get confused by the use of a woman's maiden name in Scotland, so a really useful link to post, Annie  ;)
