Judith, Back is a community on the Island of Lewis which was until 1974 part of Ross and Cromarty but is now in the Western Isles. There are also communities like Point, Lochs etc. Regards Mark -----Original Message----- From: Jude [mailto:syrah@caverock.net.nz] Sent: 22 August 2005 03:59 To: ROSSGEN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [RossGen] Where is Back? Hello list, In the IGI, I have come across births where the location is 'Back, Ross and Cromarty.' Is there a place called 'Back" or do you think they mean Black, as in Black Isle? It is on all five of the birth/christening entries.
