All of the children to this couple (James Lafferty and Ann Hill) on the IGI are submitted records.
When I look at the IGI for children of James Lafferty and Ann Hill, I see one LDS submission (James, born in Antrim about 1859), one Old Parish Register transcription (George, b. 1852, Greenock) and four General Registry Office Scotland transcriptions (Samuel, 1857; James, 1858; Alexander, 1863 and Deborah, 1865). LDS submitted names are in lower case while transcribed OPR/GROS names are in UPPER CASE.
The LDS IGI database at familysearch.org is limited in the number of records that are accessible in each batch (e.g., 5000 OPR birth records, 3192 OPR marriage records, etc). The workaround has the excess records shown as "submissions" not "transciptions". The batch number shown is for the original batch the record was uploaded with but they don't get a final batch # to show what OPR/GROS Volume they were transcribed from. Also, the LDS doesn't seem to have transcribed GROS death records to for the IGI, so they get handled differently than birth or marriage records.
E.g., In the case of James, the batch # F868732 means it was the 32nd batch entered on the 87th day of 1986. The birth date of
about 1858 and marriage date of
about 1883 means it is probably a transcription of a GROS death record.
- Also in batch 868732 is the 26sep1871 death of John Fielding.
- In batch 8111931 is the 26jul1855 death of Fielding's first wife, Catherine Mc Gregor (my gg-grand-aunt).
- Her birth in 1895 at Balquidder shows up in the IGI as a transcribed record in batch C113314.
- The births of her five brothers in Killin do not show as being in batch C113612; they're shown as submissions in batches 7417620, 7417621, 7417622 and 7417623. But if you go to a LDS Family History Centre and look at the LDS OPR microfiche, her brothers are all recorded correctly in batch C113612. With a 5000 record cut-off, thousands of Killin births before 1855 aren't listed at familysearch.org as being C113612.
In short, names in CAPITAL LETTERS mean the record was transcribed and Lower Case Letters mean it was submitted by an LDS member, regardless of what the website says. If the IGI name shows up in CAPS, you can probably find the record at ScotlandsPeople.
