Hi Wilma You must have missed the Shaw gravestones since they were recently transcribed by Roger McWee and Nigel Ruckley and are included in the Islay Cultural Database. You can access the database at http://www.finlaggan.com/ and click on "Culture". This is a pay site but well worth the fee. There is a great deal of info available on the ICD There aren't any Black gravestones at Keills as per the transcription but there is likely data available through the ICD. The following info is copyrighted so I can only give you the basic info that is found in the printed transcription "A Guide to the Old Graveyards: Keills, Kildalton, Kilmeny and Port Charlotte" Surveyed and compiled by R. McWee and N. Ruckley available through the North Carolina Scottish Heritage Society's treasurer Anne Landin, alandin@centernet.net Please note that you will get considerably more information through the ICD. John Shaw, ICD record 26829 Neil Shaw, 680 Same stone: Donald Shaw, 19931 Neil Shaw, 4159 Jessie MacPhee Shaw, 4160 Jessie Shaw, 27598 Christina Campbell Shaw, 28113 Neil Shaw, 28114 FYI - I also checked Kilmeny, Kildalton and Port Charlotte Cemetery transcriptions for Black and there weren't any. However Alexander Black's wife Barbra Livingstone Black (d1850, age 50) and son Duncan (d1854, age 22) are buried at Kilchoman Cemetery. Please consider posting your query to SCT-ISLAY list at rootsweb.com. Others on the list may be able to help you more. FYI - there are numerous Blacks and Shaws at Ted Larson's site in the BMDs http://freepages.family.rootsweb.com/~tlarson/bdm/ Cheerio Sue Visser Ontario, Canada ----- Original Message ----- From: Wilma Reath To: genealgal2@execulink.com Sent: Sunday, October 01, 2006 2:36 PM Subject: Black/Shaw To Who it concern: I am looking for Black's and Shaw's that are buried at Keills Cemetery, Jura also a Archie Black buried there. I was there visiting in the summer of this year and there is no tombstone for the Blacks or Shaws. Is there a way of getting the cemetery records that shows the plots of these people.
