FamilySearch index of Scottish Old Parochial Register baptisms (pre-1855). Entries name the child, christening date and parish and usually both parents. The indexed "Birth Date" values are unreliable (some post-date the christening, some are junk like "11"); cite the christening.

For William Ogilvie (1799–1866)

Wm. Ogilvy bapt 17 Feb 1799 Strathmartine, Forfarshire, Scotland ark:XYJG-B85

FamilySearch historical-records index row, read in Chrome by the orchestrator 2026-09-17/18 (search: surname Ogilvie, father William, mother Agnes Philp, birthLikePlace Angus, Scotland). His own indexed baptism entry - corrects the GEDCOM-imported '14 DEC 1801' (untraceable to any record) and the birthPlaceId (was 1877 Aberdeenshire, contradicted outright). A FamilySearch Family Tree compiled profile (KZJB-N7M) read the same session gave the identical christening date/parish as a lead, now confirmed by this primary index entry.

FamilySearch index of the Scotland, Births and Baptisms, 1564-1950 collection, read in Chrome by the orchestrator (owner's signed-in Chrome) 2026-09-17/18. The mid-row '[no]' is the orchestrator's own aside rejecting an unrelated Campbeltown candidate seen while searching, not page content — quoted verbatim regardless per the no-tidy-OCR rule. Exact match to John McLeay's existing birth date and place.
