Marilyn - I volunteer at a Family History Center in Oklahoma USA as a non-churchmember. You can order dozens of films of the handwritten Kirk Sessions books...but you must know what PARISH is the one of interest. Not all parishes had Kirk Sessions that have surviving records and not all of those were filmed. To find out what has been filmed for a topic, go here and select KEYWORD SEARCH, its better than Place Search : http://www.familysearch.org/eng/Library/FHLC/frameset_fhlc.asp I entered only these 3 words with no commas or punctuation : Kirk Sessions Midlothian That returned 8 titles to clik on and check out the film contents and film number by clikking on the VIEW FILM NOTES button. If it hasn't been filmed, it says so in the same place as the button. If I searched for : Kirk Sessions Edinburgh, more titles were found, but many were Blotter Registers. By just entering : Kirk Sessions yields 130 titles mostly the UK and some in the US. Vary the search terms and see if what you need has been filmed. Be reminded that Church MINUTES are the mostly dry notes on the weekly running of the church. Although occasionally I've found admonitions and a few reports of drunken behavior in Church minutes I've read. Still, the SESSIONS are generally what you are looking for to get the perhaps members names, maybe lists of parishioners, lots of scandalous behaviors and assorted reprimands and rebukings. You know....the kind of happenings that led to a lot of us being here to read this ..... Meg G in Oklahoma USA ==============================
