Aberdour MI Lookup - *COMPLETED*
« on: Sunday 12 July 09 11:31 UTC (UK) »

Does anybody have a copy of the MI booklet for Aberdour?  I am interested in Stone No. 48.  The surnames are Stewart, Gordon, Cooper and Gaul.  If anyone can provide a copy of the transcription, it would be much appreciated!

Thanks for this!  James's age on Stone 48 gave his birth as approximately 1783/84.  I can confirm that stone 49 is referring to his parents with an IGI entry:

Excellent! Hopefully the information on stone 49 can take you back even further. Smiley

Aberdour graveyard is quite generous in that way. Three generations of my family are buried side by side there (that is why I thought 49 may be handy).
