Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Hi fellow listers, I have a query, my Great Grandfather Robert Strachan was born 1846 at Dunnottar, he had 2 brothers older who were according to later census born Bervie, would that be Glenbervie, Inverbervie or just Bervie, as I can find the 2 former, but not the last one. Thanks in advance, Ruth Edwards >> Bervie is local name for Inverbervie "Home of the best Fish and Chip shop" I will be visiting it next week on my annual trip home. Sheila K.
