Since my last posting, I have located a map which does show the parish boundaries of Moray as they were after the County boundary adjustment of 1870, but before the major re-alignments of 1891. This is on the National Library of Scotland website, at: http://www.nls.uk/digitallibrary/map/early/os_scotland_county_series_list.html - scroll down to "Index to the Ordnance Survey of Elginshire 1883" Finding the boundaries of a particular parish will probably involve a good deal of zooming in and out of the image, but it is also possible to buy printouts of the maps on the NLS site. I shall certainly be ordering a copy of this one. Gavin Bell
Thanks Gavin, Thanks also for your tip a while back re Caledonian Maps. I've purchased 6 WONDERFUL maps from them that have been so very helpful. Before your mention of them, I didn't even know these maps existed and I thought I had searched everywhere! This list is fantastic! I belong to several list-serv's for my genealogical research and this one is, by far, the most informative, helpful, and relevant one of them all. Thank you, everyone, for all your helpful knowledge.
