Some of the Selkirk-shire parish records are indexed in [http://search.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=5850 '''Selkirk, Scotland, Extracted Parish Records''']. <br>
::This database is a collection of historical parish registers from the county of Caithness in the country of Scotland. The records in this collection can range in date from the early 1500s to the mid- to late-1800s. The records include baptisms/christenings, burials, marriages, tombstone inscriptions, obituaries, tax lists, wills, and other miscellaneous types of records. Also included are some records from non-conformist churches.  You will find interesting phonetic spelling. Some of the records may be in Latin or even a Welsh or Scottish dialect. Due to the nature of the records and because the records were originally compiled by a third party, it is difficult to absolutely verify the completeness and validity of the data.
Here is a list of the historic parishes for the county of Selkirk.&nbsp; Click on the parish name to see information about records.<br>

A census is a count and description of the population, taken by the government, arranged by locality and by household. In 1841, the British government began taking censuses of the population of Scotland every ten years, listing all persons by name.&nbsp; The census records must be 100 years old before they are released to the public, so the 1841 through 1901 are currently available.&nbsp; Read more about [[Scotland Census|Scotland Census Records]].
