 ===Kirk Sessions===
-Very few Kirk Sessions records are available online. ScotlandsPeople are in "the final stages" of making more of them available online. See this guide [https://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/research/guides/church-court-records-online Church Court Records] for more information.
+Kirk Sessions records are available at ScotlandsPeople. In recent years, SP has made these critical records available via a small portion of their regional archives but which are ''in Scotland.'' And now, Scotlandspeople have mercifully allowed an outside entity digitise and share images of the kirk session records with FamilySearch.org. Recently, FamilySearch.org worked Cooperatively with SP to obtain and now have published internally the digital images on their in-house network these and a few other Scottish collection of records. See FamilySearch.org/catalog under "Scotland" and then [name of] county, [name of] parish for viewing these rich treasures of records at the FHL. Scotlandspeople are in "the final stages" of making more of them available online. See this guide [https://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/research/guides/church-court-records-online Church Court Records] for more information.
