Thank you, Mary, for doing the lookup re Watterson for me. I appreciate it very much. Do you, or anyone else, know whether Greyfriars is close to Wellshill Cemetery? I am very vague re places in Perthshire. Iris from Auckland, . New Zealand

Hi Heather - I'm just checking whether you recd the line I sent on the 11th? My server seems to be playing up with what emails I'm sending to the UK through fsnet.co.uk Elizabeth Jean

Just curious but is there any site that tells how to pronounce the names of the cities in Scotland? From watching Monarch of the Glen: Pitlochry is pronounced Pit-lock-ree not Pith-low-kree as the local genealogy "expert" says. Logierait and Alyth are two of the placed that I would like to know how to pronounce correctly.

After a long absence from family history due to computer problems, illness and visitors I am finally able to get back into it and thought I'd once more list my names of interest : TAYLOR - Tippermallo, Methven, Madderty, Findo Gask, Tibbermore SIM - Findo Gask DUNCAN - Kinclaven, Methven, Fowlis Wester Christine

For all, but particularly Mary in Oregon - I would welcome information on availability of sources and ordering details for Stanley PER MI's, particularly pre 1851. My main interest is in DUNBAR, also MCLAREN and MCKENZIE connecting to DUNBAR. Mary, which of your volumes includes Stanley? Pat(rick) R. L.

Am seeking information about John Robertson who emigrated to Cornwall, Canada about 1795. Wife Janet Rutherford, son Duncan, baptized in the Killin Church (protestant) came with him to Canada. Why did they emigrate to Canada? Did John have brothers and sisters? Would appreciate any insights. Jim in Princeton, NJ

Geoff, If anyone actually ends up with the "right" MI, I can scan the map and entry. I am kind of nuts with documention....so I understand if anyone wants it. Hope it helps somebody.

Mavis, Funny, I just finished sending the MIs from Fergus....I am the same person as the Mary in Oregon on the Perth list. There are two Dingwall graves in perth. i hope you do get the books from scotland as they are specifically about your family (what I wouldn't give for that!)Why do all that digging when someone has already done it back to the 1640 and written a book? and if you want and of the pages from Fergus, I can scan them. b:7 and d 174 (Grayfriars is huge so it is broken into several sections) b7 imo Wm Rennie innkeeper Perth 7.6.1839 49 by Eliz Braid 19.12.1871 77, ss Chas 12.4.1850 19 & Jas 22.2.185[6/8] 36. s Thos d Tarradale, Australia 28.7.1882 59, s in law Thos Young 10.5.1858 39 (s Thom 19.4.1848 4y) (west side) Revised by Alex Rennie d 13.3.1910 81 imo w Hannah Dingwall 16.9.1877 34, child d inf, das Margt Duncan 19.1.1891 9y & Mary 2.2.1891 7m 174 John Dingwall 28.8.1856 49, w Mary Marshall 28.1.18[89] 77, da Jessie 4.8.1864 27, chn; Roderick, Patk & David d inf ----[m]es Dingwall-------- lair 32 Lair records can be requested from the address I sent out on an earlier email.

Hello, are there any MI's recorded for Clunie, Kinrossie and Collace areas? I'm looking for MCLAREN surname in Clunie before 1810. MCLAREN, OGILVIE and MILLAR in Kinrossie and Collace after 1800. OGILVIE and MILLAR in Collace and Kinrossie before1800. Margaret E. in Oregon

I do have Lundie though it is Angus, not Perth but there are none by that surname. I have been to that graveyard James McNab in Crieff, w Janet Arnott 23.8.1880 101y 5m (Ed:see Porteous, Crieff pp 183 & 225) no Mcnab at Monzie taylors are found in graves even the decorations are listed and the conditions of the stones, old stones usually had only initials...the first one had first one in parenthesis is because it is badly worn or impossible to read. they usually then refer to an earlier book of MIs to find missin information. These little books have a map of each cemetery, notes incluing what records exist for each parish including the bios for parish ministers and books on local history. They are worth their weight in gold, and a partial list of wills for each parish. check scottish documents website for an online searchable index. a:38 emblems of mortality I [T].

I see that Perth Wellshill Cemetery is shown on Mary's list in the above volume of MIs. My gggrandparents, John and Mary Watterson lived near there, I believe. I would be very grateful if you could look to see if there is a Watterson on the list for that cemetery. That is all I wish to know as it is difficult to find anything about that family. They emigrated to New Zealand with their children and Mary's widowed mother, Elizabeth Wilkie, arriving here on the 17 March 1841 on the "Lady Nugent". I thought that they may have had children who died, or John's parents may have been buried there. Thank you very much in advance, Mary. Iris from Auckland, New Zealand

Heather, Thanks for your kind offer! Could you please do a lookup on the following: Auchterarder: Robert Mailer b. 24 November 1824 (age abt. 26 - 27) Parents are John Mailer & Mary MacFarlane, ages unknown John Smith b. about 1798(age somewhere around 50 +/-) Wife Elizabeth Robertson b. 1798 John Smith, b. 1827 (age abt. 23 - 24) Wife Clementina (Lamont/Lamond) Smith, Oct. 1829 (age 21 - 22) Also I am very interested in the Low name in Little Dunkeld. If the opportunity is present for you to look into that name, it would be great. However, there could well be a large number of Lows and I would not want to intrude upon your time should that be the case! If you ever need anything here in NYC, do let me know. Laurel O'Donnell-Lafford Brooklyn, NY

I must have missed the first posting on this. Is there a book somewhere that has MIs for Wellshill Cemetery? If so is someone doing lookups? I've never heard of MIs for this cemetery.

Hi Heather, I would be very grateful if you could possibly check for a John Smith (impossible name I know) who was born in Alyth 1830/1831. His occupation in 1880 is shown as gardener. Thank you for your help Cheers Anne

Perth South volume 1 i forgot to describe the cemeteries. http://www.scotsgenealogy.com/ I try not to do whole surnames (for many parishes or the whole county) out of the books since this organization depends on profits from these little books but if you know a particular parish I will search.

Hi, I just sent an e-mail concerning a Railway Website. http://www.railpictures.net/ But my Outlook Express is playing up. So I sent it by a different route. Sorry about all the unwanted stuff with the text. Alistair Bell.

I just wanted to thank Heather for her kindness in doing look-ups and to the other on the list who go out of their way to help others. My parents taught me that when you have something positive to say you should do it in front of as many people as posible just as the reserse is true...say negative things in private. Heather looked up my Powries and I am grateful for having them. It is a rare name. I have the MIs (monument Inscription books mainly pre-1855) for East Perthshire Volume 1, which includes 1.

There is a main index in the back and a small index for each cemetery but neither have first names so in order to find a particular grave i must look up each stone....which I don't mind unless someone askes for every mcdonald in Perth and Angus....... They were done by the Scottish genealocal society in Edinburgh and are fairly inexpensive if you want a whole surname. I reasearched a whole surname and less than 1% of the people buried in a cemetery had stones so consider a tombstone a gift,( it is easier to win the lottery) rather than expecting to find one......don't want to get your hopes up but I will look. you can ask the local council, parks dept. for the record, if you have the full death date since the cemetery records are not computerized.....but you have to know which cemetery and the full death date.... the books are huge.
