Yes, all the baptisms and marriages are transcribed and indexed on Scots
Origins. No burials. But these OPRs only cover the parish churches
.........some surviving 'free' church records are in the NAS in Edinburgh.
The computer in Edinburgh is very fussy about spelling ........ it is not
like the LDS. Putting in Elizabeth, for example, will not produce Elisabeth.
So far, I have never found an entry in the OPR which was not indexed in
Register House (online as Scots Origins) and no-one has told me of finding
such an entry.
