I had mentioned Knockando and was speculating on why all of Anne's syblings were noted as being from Cromdale Inverallen and Advie. The point being that all of this information does not seem to be "documented" and the "web source" I located some time back (which is the mentioned "for retrieval" item) may have assumed that they were all from Cr-Adv_Inv which is what they had shown. I have my "Anne" changed to Knockando (now the only one there) as per our family "record" which I expect is at least as good as anyone's (anyone with no documents that is). Just how you got to Granton-on-Spey I don't know. You mention "she" but I don't know who the "she" is that you talk about. Please clarify. I will send a "family list" to your e-address. As for Edinkillie and Aachindoir, let me assure you that they are not anywhere near the location you describe (perhaps there are two of each???) Edinkillie is at the "fork" where the Findhorn joins the Divie, about one mile west towards Ferness (and on the opposite shore of the Findhorn is Auchindoir (various spellings) I will try to "photocoy" a segment of Pont 8 but it may be a bit blurry. Find Ferness, go a mile or two east to Ardlach (the Bell tower is still there, next comes Score (where Anne Cruickshank is buried) several villages along the way until Auchindaar (sp diff if you choose) and then Edinkillie (Ponts notes next show Edinkillie Kirk. As I said, I don't know where your towns are. - perhaps in the area of Huntley or "Carnie near Huntley' where Roey (Roy) is from or further yet, all the way to Methlick, where the grandfather of all of these Cruickshanks came from. We are definitely not on the same page here - let us sort this out over the next while by direct e-mail, where "attachements may flow". Next will come the "mixed salad" of discussion about this family and who begat whom! Regards, Ron Mann rodeochaps@shaw.ca
