>Found a reference to a person born in Corsikirk, Isle of Sanday, Orkney. >Anyone know anything about this place? Dear Lori, I did not find any place on Sanday with the name *Corsikirk*. However, the closest to it is *Corsequoy* which I found on the modern Pathfinder Ordnance Survey map (Sanday North, Sheet HY 64/74). It is located near Broughtown and appears to be a farm overlooking the Bay of Brough. I did not find it on the O.S. map of 1895-96, however. If someone has ready access to Gregor Lamb's, <<Naggles o Piapittem - The Placenames of Sanday, Orkney>>. Byrgisey, 1992, perhaps he/she can look it up for you. My copy is packed up with the rest of my library pending my move from California to Pennsylvania in early October. Good luck with your research, Doug Nicol, Santa Rosa CA
