Gretchen, a quick note on the location of burial grounds and helping you to "see" where things are. The ordnance survey maps used over here are amazing and accurate for locating burial grounds and even places where our relatives live. I have dozens of these maps as I track my family back over the generations. I think it might prove interesting to you to order the one(s) in the area(s) you are most interested in. Map 66 "Edinburgh covers the two places you mention. http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/ The second thing, you may already be aware of is the site genuki. I always use this as a starter for areas that are new to me to see what is available and what family history societies are active as they often have local resource both human to do minor research and information in either written or electronic media. Monument inscriptions (some) for Inveresk are online here, and instructions for where he ones for Dalkeith are in the Dalkeith site. Happy hunting.

Where would I be able to find a list of people buried in these areas? Are there many cemeteries?? As you can tell, I am not from Scotland, have never been there, and am really not sure if these areas are close enough that families might have burial plots no matter where they lived. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks, gretchen Michigan, USA
