Nice find, Nelmit!

Consistorial Processes and Decreets, 1658-1800. The Commissariot of Edinburgh.

Although the Preface is rather heavy reading, the 'Search Suggestions' are easy to follow and well worth the effort, sometimes giving the names, family relationships and locations. Nice that it has a surnames index and is searchable.

Includes Actions for Divorce; Delarators of marriage, legitimacy, freedom, executry, nullity of marriage, scandal or slander damages.
