Crikey. Just spotted that the Edinburgh General Session church records include an Edinburgh weather report for 1815-1820. Very detailed! National Records of Scotland volume CH2/131/2.

@beisbolcards @MarthaAnne I’ve had a lot of luck in Central and South America with church records but can’t rely on indexing. If you have the year I recommend brewing a big pot of (warm beverage of choice that will help you stay awake) and go through each record. Poor scans and misspellings can conceal a record hiding in plain sight. #genealogy #genealogist #familyhistory #ancestry #churchrecords #brickwall
