I could die quite happy in the Aberdeen and North East FHS library. My point was don't stop with which ever one is closest to your rellies.I have purchased many fine publication including the Scottish genealogy society's monument Inscription books.... I'm a member there and at TayValley FHS I'm experienced but not an expert. I have found a New England tour that goes to both Scotland and England, so I can travel again without driving alone. I'll have to join their organization, but volunteer efforts need our suport. http://www.scotsgenealogy.com/ This is my country, The land that begat me, These windy spaces Are surely my own. And those who toil here In the sweat of their faces Are flesh of my flesh And bone of my bone. Sir Alexander Gray (the poem on the Scottish Genealogy society website) Check out the pedigree files submitted by members AND contribute your work!! Now I'll get off my Yankee soap box....
