Hi Angela, Welcome to the list. I agree with Elaine re Victorian Ordnance Survey maps. They are the best 'old' maps today available in print. These are available from Amazon.co.uk and other sources. Victorian Maps of Mull are also available online at http://www.old-maps.co.uk/ For current maps, the Ordnance Survey publish two series but I would recommend the Explorer Series. Mull is covered by numbers 373, 374 and 375. I known the list to which Elaine refers because I used to display the list on the mullgenealogy website together with a map showing the location of the places listed. It originally appeared on the Mull list in around 2001/2 I think. However that list contains only a small fraction of the locations on Mull with all there various spellings. That is why I replaced the list and map with the current location finder on the website. The location database contains over 7,600 entries. Not that there are 7,600 locations as some places can be spelt in at least half a dozen different ways. I am still adding to this database as I come across new locations and different spellings. If it's any consolation I have transcribed all of the Mull OPR's and I could not make out all of the placenames. I'm currently adding the transcriptions to the records displayed under the 'Surname Index' tab on the website so there is a chance that your family are already there with what I think is the placename. Please check there first and if your family is not listed, send me their names and I will check my transcriptions from which I will hopefully be able to give you the location. I agree that most of the writing is terrible. Hope this helps, Ian webmaster www.mullgenealogy.co.uk

Hi Ian Thanks for reminding me to look at your Mull site. I am basically a "paper person" and forget to use all the things that are out there. You do an amazing job.
