Got ancestors in Moray and the surrounding area? Try http://libindx.moray.gov.uk/mainmenu.asp I've found a few mentions, even a headstone/grave reference! Oops...Brenda already added it...never mind, this is a great site so deserves to be mentioned twice. Mhairi |

Anyone with Scottish ancestors who were miners should look at www.mining-villages*co*uk/ This is an excellent site with lists of casulties from accidents , extracts from the 1842 Royal Commission and much more. Les Harris |
