Hell-o Keith, My name is Joe Greene and I am researching William DUNNET (DENNETT in Canada) who left Orkney, employed by Hudsons Bay Company, in about 1800. He was born in South Ronaldsay. Have not been able to find much in the parish records though. Apparently this parish does not have good historical records. I do not know if you are aware but the center of the DUNNET family is Windwick Bay, South Ronaldsay. -----Original Message----- From: Keith Dash <dashjk@ozemail.com.au> To: ORKNEY-L@rootsweb.com <ORKNEY-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Saturday, June 12, 1999 11:29 PM Subject: Re: [ORKNEY-L] Need map(s) of Orkney >At 16:07 10/06/99 -0700, you wrote: >>The more I get into my research, the more I need a good map or maps of >>Orkney (contemporary and historic?).
