Hi Just thought I would add my interests in case there are any newbies (please see below signature) I am also willing to do lookups - please I ask that you be specific, it is very time consuming to collate all the one given surname. I have access to some of the 1841/51 census for parishes in Kincardineshire (I am having computer problems at the moment so can't be more specific - census lookups may take a week or so). I have the Strachan MI booklet and also the pre-1855 for the Mearns. Best wishes Sharon researching GLASS EMSLIE COUTTS McKONDACH GORDON in Aberdeenshire and Kincardineshire special interests in BIRSE (and FOREST OF BIRSE)
