Local registrars were appointed in virtually every parish in Scotland. The local registrar kept two registers of all of the births, marriages, and deaths registered in his district. The District Examiner annually examined the registers and sent one copy of the register to Edinburgh. The other copy remained with the local registrar. | Local registrars were appointed in virtually every parish in Scotland.

The extracted records | |||
The extracted records found on the FamilySearch.org website in the Historical Records Collections for Scotland may not be 100% complete. Those records that were already in the IGI (through family submissions) when extraction took place in the 1980's were not duplicated and therefore do not apprear as extracted entries. Those records not in the extraction batches can be found by searching 'All Record Collections' for 'IGI' then selecting to search the 'Community Contributed' data. | |||
