Regarding the free census for Sutherland. Christine is right, it will take someone with a lot of time and a certain amount of computer savvy. I am currently involved in transcribing a section of the 1841 census for Argyll, and though I am the first in 3 levels of checking the same record, I am finding it very slow going and quite time consuming...also, I am only one of a dozen or more the coordinator has to handle. As to my list of available records: Ross & Cowper Sutherland Monumental Inscriptions pre 1855 Peter Harrington Culloden 1746 [campaign series #12] John Prebble The Highland Clearances George Eyre-Todd Highland Clans of Scotland: Their History and Traditions. 2 vol, printed abt 1923 Fitzroy MacLean Scotland A Concise History, revised ed Australian Vital Records Index 1788-1905 [CD set] 1881 Canadian Census [CD set] British Isles Vital Records Index 1530 - 1906 [partial records] 1880 United States Census [CD set] 1881 Scotland Census [CD set] Canadian Genealogy Index 1600s to 1900s [CD set] FTMakers CDs on Virginia; Pennsylvania; Connecticut; Rhode Island and New Jersey, Mid-Atlantic Genealogies US Military Records 1784 to 1811 [CD] FTMaker CDs United States/Europe Births 900-1880; New England local and family histories; and selected US/International marriage records I also have about 20 volumes of FTMaker's family history CDs. Frances McDonnell Aberdeen Obituaries 1823-1839 and 1800-1822 Sheila Livingstone Scottish Customs I also have large files on Hawaiian genealogies, with access to Hawaiian records. Quite a few Scots settled in Hawaii in the 1800s. I have a book called Scots in Hawaii, and have access through the Caledonian Society for other local records relating to Scots who settled here. Finally, I for one have received tremendous help from the members of this list. I may not post on an active basis, but I read every message and have quite a few saved for future reference. I have learned so much from all the various postings; it shocked me to read there was thought of shutting it down.
