Please read the introduction to the Holyrood Marriages section for background information
regarding the source of these records.
Baptisms - in most cases, the sponsors were on the back of the page, which meant turning the
book upside down, and then counting down until I found the correct entry - I didn't do this very often,
the chanes of taking a sponsor from a record just above or below the one that I was interested in was
too great.
Please check the Parish records for complete accuracy.
