Bobbi, I found them in the CD "Scottish Church Records, Version(s) 1.10 and 2.01" as transcribed by the LDS Church and found in the FHC Library in Lodi, CA where I used to live. I believe the cd's are available in all Family History Center Libraries of the LDS Church. This set of cd's gives christening dates and names of parents (I believe). It's been a long time since I found them. Also marriage dates. A gold mine of information. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: "Francis Younger" <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, November 15, 2006 12:40 PM Subject: Re: [YOUNGER] Alexander's Will > Has anyone ever made the attempt to find Alexander and Andrew in Scotland? > I have never done Scottish research and have no idea how to go about it. > > Bobbi Estes > > -------------- Original message -------------- > From: "Francis Younger" <[email protected]> > >> Thank you, this is great.
