Hello list Forwarding this letter which I have today sent to Dr Lindsay. Will post his response in due course. Christine -----Original Message----- From: Christine Stokes [mailto:chris@northants26.freeserve.co.uk] Sent: Sunday, April 15, 2001 7:32 AM To: nick.lindsay@highland.gov.uk Subject: FW: Clyne (Old) Cemetery Dear Dr Lindsay As list manager of the County of Sutherland Rootsweb Mailing List it has been suggested by our members that I contact you regarding the work you are currently doing on the old Clyne Cemetery. Our list has nearly two hundred members from all around the world who keep in touch by email. Many of our members could give you the information which will add flesh to your bones. However, during recent years much has been made of people taking hard earned research and then 'selling it'! Causes a few problems that does. I have received many emails about your work and basically if you can assure us that this is a genuine heritage gathering of information you will receive help. I understand you will publish the work when completed. Presumably this will then be sold at an affordable price? Would you be willing to acknowledge help given? With positive answers to these questions I will be happy to post your response to the list and you should receive your information. If you would like to take a look at the archives for our mailing list you can find them on at http://archiver.rootsweb.com/SCT-SUTHERLAND-L/ If you wish to join the list there is a link on my own web site. Look forward to hearing from you.

If it is, please forgive me. I have noticed several subscribers are researching ancestors in the Clyne area and wondered whether some might be interested in responding to an appeal for help that appeared in the latest issue of the Highland Family History Society's Journal. The appeal was from Dr. Nick Lindsay, the Secretary of the Clyne Heritage Society, who has compiled a record of the burials and wishes to add some character to the individual records. With his permission, I quote from his appeal: "I have done a complete transcription of Clyne (Old) Cemetery, substantially revising and improving (he types modestly) the previous published records in Cowper's Pre-1855 Sutherland Monuments edition. I am interested in following this up by appealing for any information that members hold about any of the people buried in the graveyard so that I can add, excuse the expression, flesh to the bones! So rather than just publishing a list of names, places and dates, I would like to be able to add some stories and some history. So if any members have information that they feel might be relevant, please contact me by letter at "Sunnybrae", West Clyne, Brora, Sutherland Kw9 6NH, or by email at nick.lindsay@highland.gov.uk " Dr Lindsay hopes to publish his project when it is complete. In the meantime, the information is in a data base and he would be pleased to respond to any enquiries from researchers who think their ancestors might be buried in Clyne. I do not have the pleasure of knowing Dr. Lindsay, but I do not believe this project is commercially motivated.
