Hi Linda, I couldn't say it any better than what you have. I have found, all too often that lots of these documents and book/lets fall by the wayside. They are, perhaps and proberly because of monetary reasons, not re-printed or if they are only in limited editions. I, for one would like to have made available to us the *Annals of Fenwick* and even *Kilmarnock and Loudoun District Monumental Inscriptions pre 1855* and of course Margaret Sanderson's *The People of Sixteenth Century Ayrshire*. Do you know how we might do this with some positive results?

Deborah: Thanks for the reminder that I need to renew my subscription to the Scottish Genealogy Society. FYI, they have Kilmarnock & Loudon for sale on CD and do ship international. Might pay to see if other items you, and others, might be interested in exist in their online shop.ecunningham@att.net From: Deborah Rea via <ayrshire@rootsweb.com>   I, for one would like to have made available to us the *Annals of Fenwick* and even *Kilmarnock and Loudoun District Monumental Inscriptions pre 1855* and of course Margaret Sanderson's *The People of Sixteenth Century Ayrshire*.  Do you know how we might do this with some positive results?
