Message ID:868FCA278DBB4A32900B0C94636C0E74@GeorgeVostro < Thank you Anne Burgess for the pictures about Elgin, Urqhart and area. I have been doing genealogy research of the area, particularly Burghead, Duffus and Elgin and it is so nice to be able to see pictures of the different areas. I think some of my ancestors may have also been from Roseisle. I am looking for Sandymoss, which I think is in Duffus area. I cannot find it on any map. My great-great grandfather John Laing 1796 lived or was born at Sandymoss. I don't know if this was a place or a farm. Great-grandfather William,dob 1831, was born to John Laing and Elspet Cobban, one of 5 children as far as I know. My grandfather was James Laing dob 1876, born to Wiliam Laing and Elspet McHardy at Burghead, one of 5 children and he was a twin. He moved to Canada around 1903 and farmed in Saskatchewan. His wife, my grandmother, was Elizabeth Bartlett 1886 also born in Burghead and she left Scotland in 1910, I believe. Both grandparents died in Canada. Any info would be appreciated. It is hard when there was so little info to go on and no-one left to ask for details. Faye Graham Abbotsford, BC,Canada
