I am researching FRASER family of Rafford, Moray. I recently read your booklet on Rafford Churchyard & Cemetery. Although I found no reference to my Fraser family I got an impression of the work you have done which is invaluable to researchers accross the world - thank you. I wonder if someone could comment on my difficulty finding any of my Rafford ancestors when at least 5 generations were born in Rafford between 1730 & 1821. Some of them must have died in Rafford? 21 July 2008 - Canada Webmaster comments   Apart from one buried stone (1753), all other 'Fraser' deaths recorded on MIs in the old Rafford Churchyard are post 1826.

Have traced husband's family to Plewlands in Drainie. Have James Dick in Duffus 1668. Coming up to your area next week and hoping to spend day in Lossiemouth Elgin area. Where is best place to continue search. 29 June 2008 - Carluke, Scotland Webmaster comments   Suggest Moray Local Heritage Centre, in Elgin, would be a good starting point.

I don't know if MBGRG members are aware of the Scottish War Graves Project? http://scottishwargraves.phpbbweb.com/ Some headstones in some Moray cemeteries have been recorded on this forum and it may be of interest to some of you in the MBGRG We also have a companion site, the Scottish War Memorial Project http://warmemscot.s4.bizhat.com/ which has recorded over 2000 war memorials throughout Scotland including 47 out of Moray's 51 civic war memorials. Kind Regards Adam Brown (Administrator & Founder member SWGP & SWMP) http://warmemscot.s4.bizhat.com/ 3 June 2008 - Edinburgh Webmaster comments   Links to both of these very useful sites now included on the MBGRG 'Links Page'.

I would like to recommend Foxit Reader to fellow members as an alternative to Adobe Reader. It’s also free but slimmer and faster than Adobe. I have found it reliable and a couple of my friends and colleagues are also now using it as their PDF reader of choice. See link below. http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader_2/down_reader.htm Best regards. John Gordon (Associate Member) 3 June 2008 - Glasgow, Scotland Webmaster comments   Many thanks for that John - I have tried it myself now, and seems an excellent alternative.

Great website. I will be mentioning it in the Innes Clan Society's newsletter. Is Bruce Bishop still part of the Group? 17 May 2008 - Long Beach, California Webmaster comments   Thanks Carole. Yes - Bruce is very much involved. See the website 'Contact Us' page should you wish to get in touch.

I hope your organisation realises how valuable your work is to those of us on the other side of the world! I am anxious for the Elgin records: I had always been told that my Baddon ancestors were from Elgin but I am now thinking that it may be Drainie. Not knowing the area at all - is it possible for them to be both? 19 April 2008 - Australia Webmaster comments   Kerry - Will contact you privately re your message.

New 'Google Map' added to the website to help users locate churchyards, cemeteries etc that have been or are being researched by the Group and to give you a little more information to help with your Moray research. Any constructive comments via the Guestbook always welcome, either public or private. Your feedback helps to improve this website resource. Thanks. 18 March 2008 - Aberdeen, Scotland

Great web-site. Just started researching my (McIntosh) family history and as most of my direct family come from around Moray, this has been very helpful. I look forward to my planned graveyard tour in May. Keep up the good work. Best Wishes, Ian Mackintosh 13 March 2008 - London, UK

Many thanks for a really enjoyable evening reading through your Newsletters. I went to Elgin Cathedral for the first time today and wanted to find out more about the worthies buried there. My son lives in Burghead and we have seen the small graveyard there and wondered about it's origins. Your work contributes so much to the social history of the area 10 March 2008 - Luton
