    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: Inbal_Livne Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.asia.india.general/2513/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am a PhD student researching Scottish missionaries who worked with Tibetans in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Specifically, I am looking at objects these missionaries collected and later donated to Scottish museums. I would love to hear from anyone who may have ancestors who fit this description: worked with Tibetans in China/India (Darjeeling and Kalimpong areas) or in Tibet itself and collected objects which are either now in museums or still with family members. There are more people who fit this description than you might at first think and I am hoping that family histories will offer a key to their identity. Please reply to this post if you think an ancestor fits this bill and you are interested in helping my research. All participants will receive recognition and will hopefully learn something new about their ancestors! Cheers Inbal Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
