Same with the Scots....

But luckily they let the Mormons microfilm all of the Scottish church records in the 60's, and they are still available for free through the LDS web site.

I never knew what the Mormons I met did when they said they had been to Scotland on a one year "mission" - they must have spent the year just copying records - which ended up being good for us tracing family...

And this was all before computers and the internet was invented...
