Following the superb announcement on Tuesday that ScotlandsPeople (www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk) has added the first tranche of historic records from Scotland's kirk sessions (see http://scottishgenes.blogspot.com/2021/03/brace-yourselves-scotlandspeople-adds.html), I have written a brief guide to what the records are, and what to expect from them, for Who Do You Think You Are? magazine's website. You can freely access the article at https://www.whodoyouthinkyouaremagazine.com/tutorials/religious/kirk-session-records-scotland/.
Don't forget that my free article on the history of the Church of Scotland and the many offshoots that emerged from it can be found at http://scottishgenes.blogspot.com/p/kirk-history.html.
