There are tremendous resources available at the Scottish Catholic Archives for conducting research into your Scottish Catholic family history. We hope that the resources here will assist you in your search.
The Scottish Catholic Archives holds parish registers for nearly all Scottish parishes founded before 1855. These registers are currently un-indexed. Researchers are welcome to visit the Archive and conduct their own research. Limited searches can be made of the registers held at Columba House, but requests must be very specific. There is a fee for searches conducted by staff.
The National Archives of Scotland has photocopied all pre-1855 Roman Catholic parish registers and they are to be found in the RH21/ fonds. These registers are un-indexed and you must either visit yourself or engage a private researcher to conduct research.
Roman Catholic parish registers are not available on microfilm to purchase nor are they obtainable through LDS Family History Centres.
