    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/ReC.2ACI/2785.4.1.1.2.2 Message Board Post: The new cemetery in Banff is the one still in use today. I can do no better than repeat here what Elizabeth Gabriel posted on the Banffshire List (where your postings are repeated automatically): "There are no on-line records. Burial registers are kept by the local Registrar at Seafield House, 37 Castle Street, Banff AB45 1FQ, tel. 01261 813439. They charge you £15 to search the registers yourself. If you know names and rough dates they will do searches for you, but it will cost. Records are not indexed and come under lair owners, so unless you have definite information it is not very practicable. But ring her and see what she says." I have seen and used the Burial Register; if I recall correctly, it dates from about 1866, presumably from when the cemetery first "opened for business".
