Gay, It would appear that in 1800 there were very few Baptist churches in Scotland.The Scottish Baptist Union was not formed until 1869 and then had 51 churches and 3,500 members.It is likely that in 1800 your ancestor's baptism would be recorded in the Old Parish Records of the Established Church of Scotland which are available through the Scotlandspeople website.These OPRs have also been the basis of the LDS records available at www.familysearch.org Sandy Archibald Edinburgh ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gay King" <gayking@aci.on.ca> To: <MORAY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, January 14, 2005 1:25 AM Subject: [MORAY] Baptist Records > Hi, > > Today I learned that I have a Scottish ancestor by the name of Alexander > Mitchell who was born in Scotland 1800-1801, just where I don't know.

Hi Sandy, I'm glad to hear what you said. From the checking I did on Baptist records it seems they may not exist or are not obtainable. Thank you!
