    1. [MORAY] Location of Meft, Urquhart
    2. George Rose
    3. Hello everyone, I am tracking my Rose ancestors in Scotland and have some of them baptized to my G.G.Gf William Rose and Margaret Young variously described in the records as being "in Meft", and "at Upper Meft, Urquhart, [Moray]. I am having difficulty identifying the precise location of Meft although I have identified the following terms as likely references - all in Urquhart, Morayshire. Meft Farm, Innes Estate, Urquhart: Nether Meft Farm, Urquhart: Moss of Meft Farm, Urquhart: Over Meft Farm, Urquhart: Upper Meft Farm, Urquhart: Blackhills of Meft Farm or Blackhills Farm, Fife Estate, Urquhart. My question is - can anyone help in identifying/locating the place named as Meft - and its church ? Is it a village or hamlet and does the reference to "Upper Meft" in one of the baptisms provide the clue as meaning Upper Meft Farm ? Does the word Meft actually have a meaning. I would be most grateful for any explanation you can provide. George F. Rose Bermuda Islands
