Hi Jim I have had some further info that the sites I have been using these many years are now out of date. I have suggested they be removed to save confusing the ignorant such as me!!! I apologise for giving you 3-year-old rubbish! The MI Index is now at http://www.anesfhs.org.uk/databank/miindex/miindex.php and contains a page accessed from the Help menu for Published and Unpublished MIs, including a list of Fetteresso burial grounds & booklets. The Burial Grounds map is at http://www.abdnet.co.uk/burialgrounds/ Gavin has told us about this several times but I failed to note it being different from the one accessed from the [old] MI Index having no need personally to look at them for our own research. Apologies for the confusion. Unfortunately, from Gavin's further comments it appears that your LUMSDEN family didn't invest in memorial stones.

Thank you Ray and Gavin and Sandra for the great support. I will get busy ordering a number of MI booklets now that I have a membership number.

It's better than the new one, in that it still includes the unpublished data. Please don't take it away! (As an aside, the new one is OK with Firefox/Windoze 7, but looks a mess on my Firefox/linux system - the text for the input field labels is too big - Google Chrome is OK). -- Regards Dave
