The recent thread about Wigtown Kirk Sessions and other church records for Wigtown piqued my interest, so I checked the FHC to see what films were there. There is a film noted as being UP church and another for Wigtown records. There ARE Kirk Sessions on one of these films, just about 300 pages of them along with Baptismal dates/names and Communion Rolls. The dates covered for the Kirk Sessions may not help though, the bulk of them are after 1855 though early records have much more written in them and meetings were held almost monthly. Later meetings were once or twice yearly with brief Sessions Minutes. Handwritten notes begin at "Wigtown, 3rd January, 1849" and go through 1st August, 1901. By the end of the filmed Sessions pages, the church had changed its name to the West United Free Church from its original United Presbyterian Church. If someone is waiting for these Kirk Sessions to come online or be available, I can check any year for notes on names they might be interested in. 1849-1901 only. The other records mentioned are The Free Church Congregation whose handwritten baptism entries include parents and occupation of father along with date and place of birth along with the name of the Reverend. Those records begin with a single entry for Janet HAMILTON on 25 Aug, 1844 at Wigtown the birth being 15 Aug. The last entry is 1947 for a Catherine R. THOMSON. Communion Rolls begin about 1850, date is unclear in margin however 1851 begins clearly right after that list of 141 names for Wigtown. Pages go at least through 1862, there were more pages, but my ride had arrived, will be back to get the rest. Meg Greenwood / Oklahoma USA <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
