Using Scottish Kirk Session Records for Family History Research
Saturday, 25 July 2026 at 7pm UK time
The following is the talk's description:
In this talk, genealogist Chris Paton will discuss the kirk session records compiled by presbyterian parishes across the country, which are mostly available to consult on ScotlandsPeople. Chris will explain what the kirk session was, how it fitted into the church courts hierarchy, and how the records presented can assist the genealogist.
In addition to discussing how to access and use the records on ScotlandsPeople, Chris will also discuss the records not available online, and show how to locate the relevant volumes that may help with research.
From antenuptial fornication and illegitimacy cases, to church census and vaccination records, the session will be called to order, and you are requested to 'compear' before it!
