Churchyard and Genealogy

Our church has been at the heart of community and spiritual life in Kilbarchan for over 220 years. Our Kirkyard, like most, provides a glimpse into the past of the families of our community. Churchyard records can be of great help to many people researching  family histories, from all over the world.

With this in mind we have reproduced a map of our Kirkyard, showing plot or lair numbers along with the names of lair-holders. A printable version is available to download here.

If you'd like any further information on any of the names on the list of lair-holders please feel free to contact us  and we'll do our best to find what you're looking for.
