Norma, I am beginning to realise that I have asked you a most difficult question for which I apologise! May I now appeal to someone / anyone on the list to help me? I have a specific need: Research through my Petrie forebears has led me to the possibility that Lord Elgin may be able to help me trace further back in my family line (which is also the line of list members Allan J. & Brian L.). However, I am having difficulty finding the correct postal address of Lord Elgin. What I do know is :- "Lord Elgin, descendant of King Robert. He, Andrew, Douglas Alexander, Thomas BRUCE, 11th earl of Elgin and > 15th Earl of Kincardine KT, CD, JP is Lord-Lieutenant of Fife and Chief of the Clan Bruce. He is also patron of the Fife Family History Society and presented them with a replica of Robert de Bruce's sword. He is also Lieut. Royal Company of Archers, the Queen's Body Guard in Scotland and is prominent in Scottish public affairs as convenor of the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs. His address is Broomhall, Fife (although he may be from near Perth but this may be his office)." If it is not possible to advise me how I can write to him, could someone tell me the address (e-mail if at all possible), of the Fife Family History Society. Any assistance will be very much appreciated. Bruce Taylor Queensland, AUSTRALIA.
