From what I have read Iain, I think you are right. Wasn't it in the Kirk in Fordoun that the people of Auchenblae worship. I think they do now.

Hi Emma, I stand to be corrected but I think that the main graveyard/kirkyard in the parish of Fordoun was in Auchenblae rather than the village of Fordoun.

Hi Jim, I did purchase this book "Flitting the Flakes" a few years ago, I am not sure whether it is still in print, it was published by Aberdeen University Press and National Museums of Scotland in 1992.. and as mentioned the catalogue number is ISBN 1 85752 008 4 It is excellent reading to find out how people lived at that time As I mentioned in the email to Emma, the burial records for Kincardinshire have been printed in a booklet entitled "M.I for Kincardinshire" I am not sure which Scottish Genealogy Society printed the booklet, but it should still be available.

Hello Betty: Does the book /Flitting the Flakes/ make mention of an estate/place called Glaschoil, Kincardineshire? Our ancestor came from that place, Donald, son of Roderick MacKenzie of Glaschoil, Kincardineshire. I wonder if there is any mention of that spot or similar ones in the book?. Did it concern latter part of 1700s or early 1800s. Thank you for taking the time to read this note, if it is convenient I would appreciate your comments.

Hi folks If you can't find Flitting the Flakes elsewhere, you can find it here. http://www.scottishbooks.com/book_details.asp?ID=31 Ann

Hi Emma, You ask about my g.g.grandmother's will -Susan Kyd/Bayne.... There were 64 names listed in her book debts... including ....her father Samuel Kyd ....who was in debt to her for two pounds 12 shillings and elevenpence halfpenny.... The largest amount owing her was nine pounds nineteen shillings and sevenpence halfpenny by a George Begg of Laurencekirk..the next one was the Rev. Robert Spark of Laurencekirk for six pounds six shillings and tenpence..... But her will does not give a clue as to what type of business she was in..only shows that it was not profitable.... Debtors came from such districts as Laurencekirk, Bridge of Leppie, Ottyhill, Tullock. Garrock, Garvock and many other areas...maybe she travelled around to outlying areas... I would dearly love to know what type of business... the will just states "Merchant in Laurencekirk""... I copied out various pages of M.I. from a booklet held at my local South Australian Genealogy Society, I believe it is called "M.I. for Kincardinshire" , and it was just a coincidence that the pages I had copied included the name of JOLLY , there could be many more by that name included in the booklet. You may also be interested in a book called "Flitting the Flakes" the diary of J.Badenoch a Stonehaven Farmer 1789-1797." The actual diary has been transcribed and printed.... It is the day to day work of a farmer, and includes how farm labourers were hired.; they seemed to be hired on an annual basis,.. the daily weather... etc. etc. Interesting to me as it is the record of "Whiteriggs" in Fordoun, where my Samuel Kydd also lived and worked in the early 1800's....

Hi there Betty, I too have a lot of ancestors who came from the Howe of the Mearns country - mainly Murrays, Christies and Keillors. I would be very interested in the farmer's diary 'Flitting Flakes'. Is it possible to purchase a copy? Also of interest would be the burial records for Fordoun. Yours Jim Murray
