Rothiemurchus
« on: Sunday 31 October 21 14:24 GMT (UK) »
I was trying to find the Kirk Session records for 18thC Rothiemurchus in Scotland's People Virtual Volumes but without luck. Can anyone tell me if they are there and I'm being a moron or haven't been digitised/don't exist?  Many thanks

Yes, that's what I got too. Not just me then!  Thanks for looking.

Probably because Rothiemurchus isn't a separate parish in its own right. It's part of the united parish of Duthil and Rothiemurchus. https://stataccscot.edina.ac.uk/static/statacc/dist/parish/Inverness/Duthil%20and%20Rothiemurchus

The surviving Duthil KS record are on Scotland's People https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/virtual-volumes/record-creator-search/sessions-volumes?rex_uid=REX00766&placename=Duthil%20kirk%20session

Not all the surviving KS records are available on SP. If you want to check which KS records have survived as opposed to which ones are on SP, go to The catalogue of the National Records of Scotland https://catalogue.nrscotland.gov.uk/nrsonlinecatalogue/search.aspx,
type in the name of the parish and then CH2 in the reference box if you want the Church of Scotland and CH3 if you want other churches.
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.
