Blair OPRs

During the course of researching my Blair ancestors in Scotland I extracted over 11,600 birth/christening records and over 6,800 marriage records from Church of the Latter Day Saints Old Parish Records of the Established Church of Scotland (LDS-FHC OPR) indexes. These include the indexes for all Blair births, christenings, and marriages in Scotland that were included in the LDS-OPR indexes.

I now have this information on the web in two searchable databases - one for BLAIR births and christenings and one for BLAIR marriages.

The map and chart below shows the distribution of Births/ Christenings and Marriages by County. The map is color coded to show the distribution of Births/Christenings by County. See the Key at the bottom.
