Thank you Iain for sharing this sad news. From all I've heard of her, she lived a full and very interesting life. Her memory of people and occasions was wonderful. I so regret not being able to meet her. I've had her photo gallery book marked for quite a while.

She had been a family history mentor to many islanders and visitors from far and wide over the years. I, for one, will sorely miss her friendship, hospitality and extensive knowledge of the history of the families of Islay. She lives on in her Photo Gallery: http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~steve/islay/betsy/ Regards Iain MacIntosh ------------------------------- Quoting the entire text of a previous message in a reply is poor netiquette.
