    1. Graveyard Tour!
    2. Ronnie Strachan
    3. Hi All, I'm off to Scotland end of the month and plan at least one day in Dunbartonshire visiting as many of the graveyards that time (and my wife!) will reasonably permit as I look to track down the last resting places of any of my McGIBBON, BRABENDER, GRAHAM and McFARLANE ancestors. Any advice or information anyone has on the present whereabouts,current state of repair of the Graveyards for the following parishes with 1800's headstones would be wonderful1. Indeed if anyone has ready access to Dunbartonshire MI's you might be able to point me to the most likely ones for these families. 1.Bonhill I have had McGibbons living in and around Arden for almost a hundred years from 1830 onwards. 2.Cardross I have at least one .. Mary McGibbon(Nee Brabender)who died in Cardross 1884. Also Graham family in area at least from 1870 onwards. 3. Row (Rhu) Helensburgh seems to have been home to the Brabenders and I have been told of an 1825 Death of John Brabender but I see there were about 10 chuches/cemetaries in the area at that time.Any pointers? 4.Old Kilpatrick My Earliest McGibbons late 1700's early 1800 ..John McGibbon=Mgt McFarlane came from that parish. If I can be of help to anyone with a specific request for headstone details in a cemetary likely to be on my itinery I'll see what I can do. Ronnie. Ireland (Ex Kilmarnock)
