The Prebytery oversees an area of churches. It checks the >>church records every year but does not maintain copies of membership rolls, >>marriages, death or baptisms in those churches. Linda in Calif. Small correction here! Many of the records( such as Kirk Session records) of the Church of Scotland are now with the Scottish Archives formerly known as the Scottish Record Office. They are in the Scottish Archives Office in Princes St., Edinburgh. Also the B.M.&D are with General Record |Office of Scotland (GROS) A visit to http://www.nas.gov.uk/ and http://wood.ccta.gov.uk/grosweb/grosweb.nsf/pages/famrec will help to show you who has what! Hope this helps! Elma Richmond, Glasgow, Scotland, U.K.
