Hello Having searched the Latter Day Saints (LDS) Scottish Births & Marriage records on Computer Index & IGI for my SKENE family from Kirkcudbright. I know there are gaps in the Parish records, I knew of 2 children born in the same parish around the same year, only 1 appeared in the LDS records and the same thing years later. I decided to order in the 'Old Parish Records'(OPR) on Film from my local LDS history centre. What I found were the births listed on the OPR, and not on computer Index & IGI. The conclusion I came too, after doing some extra double checking was, a Natural or illegitimate childs Birth & Baptism was registered/recorded in the Parish, but!!! not recorded by LDS. I found the 2 missing links, 1.'Natural Child of'..... 1.'illegitimate child of'....... Has any one else experienced this??? Marg Australia.
