Thanks In Advance Julia K. Hogston http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~mytree/Tree2.html http://www.genealogyforum.org Hello all, I haven't posted in a while, but have recently been looking again for information on Brodie and Menzies families in the Bendochy, Blairgowrie, Cupargrange area....Are there any researchers out there looking in the same places for the same surnames?
