Presbyterian churches do not have to deposit their registers with Record Offices and there are many gaps in our collections. Some registers do not survive while others are still in the care of local ministers.

For each church listed below there is detailed information on the availability of registers and indexes.

All registers held in the Record Office are on microfilm and to see them you must reserve a microfilm reader. The original registers will not be made available to the general public.
