Hello, Christine It's always good to see source details on genealogical mailing lists, but sometimes I need help in deciphering abbreviations. In this case I recognize "OPR" as old parish/parochial records, but what is "SCR"?

SCR = Scottish Church Records These were what the LDS issued in the days before the IGI became international. These were in the days when we had to sit for hours and hours in research rooms hunting! Great days.
