* FamilySearch.org and its Family History Library in Salt Lake City, and some of it's satellite Family History Centers possess the OPR or Church of Scotland Records database (an old DOS-based index). Note: FamilySearch.org many years ago obtained on microfilm collection of about 5-10% non-conformist/non-subscribing church registers. These church registers were indexed along with the Church of Scotland parochial registers and ''the data is included in this database.'' | * FamilySearch.org and its Family History Library in Salt Lake City, and some of it's satellite Family History Centers possess the OPR or Church of Scotland Records database (an old DOS-based index).
