Hi I am new to the list, mainly researching Cobbon/Cobban of Keig, Lumphanan, Tough and Alford. Can someone please advise me if it is possible to obtain Monumental Inscriptions and/or Burial records for the parishes of Keig, Lumphanan, Tough and Alford. Are such available on CD or in booklet form? Or is there a kind person on this list who does lookups? Incidentally, I am happy to do Urquhart and Glenmoriston parish lookups. Kind regards Florence Glen Urquhart, Inverness-shire

Dear Florence: I am happy to report that I am a Cobbon descendant. John Cobban of Bankhead Clatt and his wife Janet Henderson are my 6th great grandparents. For several years I corresponded with the late Dr Cobbon who lived in Scotland and provided me with a wealth of information, including the fact that mice ate the first Churchbook for the parish of Keig which means that researching the early generations of the family is difficult. I can provide you with Cobban/Cobbon information in any form you like but suggest that I send you a GEDCOM file of the descendants of the first Cobban in my records and you send me a Gedcom file beginning with your earliest family member. There is no doubt that we are cousins.
