Scotland's kirk session records play a vital role in researching Nonconformist and non-subscribing church ancestry. Most of the original Kirk Session records have recently been digitized and can now be accessed in person at many regional archives across Scotland and abroad via FamilySearch's Family History Centers in many countries. Only a very small number have been indexed and which can be found on [https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/2390848 FamilySearch] and by other websites. Many of the kirk session records contain the names of many parish inhabitants affiliated with churches outside of the Church of Scotland. Also see this [https://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/research/guides/church-court-records-online - a government guide to church court records].
