The record creator search relates solely to records held within the Virtual Volumes area of the website. The largest record sets currently available here are Church of Scotland court records and Scottish Cabinet records.
Use the record creator search to look for records created by a specific court or body (such as a kirk session, presbytery, or some other civil, criminal or ecclesiastical court, or for records created by the Scottish Government). Examples of valid searches are 'Ayr kirk session', 'Peebles presbytery' and 'Argyll synod'.
