I have been trying to decipher a film from the 1680s of the birth notices in Inverbervie. The writing has been done with a quill pen, I believe, and some of the terms are almost indecipherable or unfamiliar; e.g., al op(t?) man. In addition, after the father's name is given, it looks as if his home location is listed--peath BK or BX. Can anyone help me figure these two out? This would have been in the 1680s.Thanks. Margie
