Bellie Kirkyard Photograph Offer

Post by Moray_Lass » Sun Jul 24, 2011 1:08 pm

Since I am stuck until I can find time to get down to Edinburgh and Leith Porter's register, or Aberdeen/Edinburgh and the Kirk Session Minutes, I thought I should maybe collect photos of the (very) few gravestones in my family :wink:

I am planning to go to Bellie Kirkyard (Moray) in the next few weeks when I can get off work and the weather is fine :roll: but since I only have 3 stones, mostly in collateral lines, I thought I'd throw open an offer to anyone who needs photos there.

If you can send me the headstone reference from Libindx and a few names (if not the inscription) so I recognise it, I'll check the map in the Heritage Centre to locate them and get snapping. :D

If this goes well, I'll probably do Cullen, Findochty, and think about Elgin, in the future :wink: Word of warning, I detoured in by Rothiemay on the way back from Aberdeen a couple of weeks ago and found that my ancestors gravestone there had 'blown' and completely lost its surface and inscription. :( Luckily the Heritage Centre had recorded the inscription back in the 70's, but it was disappointing.
