That's a very generous offer, Fionnghal. I am sure plenty can benefit from this.
However, just like to say that the work you are doing in recording MIs is great and, no doubt, will be appreciated by many.
Thank you for all the hard work 
Dorothy

hi Jim. i've foprtunately had the opportunity ti access the web toady as i'd to visit the neighbouring village to get my seasonal flu jab and their library has 2 computers :-)
i've had a look through my records. i haven't found your particular MacLean in Carr Bridge .. but in saying that, there are 2 more rows of graves yet remaining to be recorded, then we'll have the whole cemetery done. there aren't many iin hte 2 rows, as they're incopmplete due to teh humpiness of hte ground, but it is the newer end where someone buried in the 1950s would be likely to be. i'm waiting till my pc comes back before finishing it as my digi camera is full of the last batch of tombstone photos and until i've downloaded them i can't take any more. i will pay particular attention next time i'm at the cemetery though, incase he's amongst those last few. i don't know if anyone has done the Aviemore Mis but will ask around. the other thing is of course, that very many burials just don't have tombstones or any kind of MI. a lot of folk simply couldn't afford it.
but for the last 2 rows, here are the only MacLean's slumbering in Carr Bridge cemetery .. just incase they're related to yours. Carr bridge and Aviemore are only 7 miles apart. i haven't spotted any mention of the name Jeffrey in Carr bridge .. so far. i'll get back to you if i do find anything on your family

Can you give us some idea what the earliest dates are in the Carr Bridge cemetery? My ancestors lived in Duthil but have found no trace of them in that cemetery--very strange!
thanks!

hi larkspur,
There are a couple of mid-1800s burials but then a jump to late 1800s. the bulk are after 1900 and there are certainly a few Duthil burials in Carr Bridge cemetery. Mind you, an awful lot of folk simply couldn't afford a stone. There are a lot of blank spaces, in both Duthil and Carr Bridge. plus, many stones in the former have worn, sadly. There may be some burials which occurred in Duthil even after the Carr Bridge cemetery opened. Have you visited the cemetery, or are you depending on the Strathspey burial grounds pre-1855 monumental inscriptions book? Can't recall it's official title at the moment, but i know our local library has a copy.
If you send me your family names and dates - rough estimates even - I'll have a look through my files and see if anything hopeful pops out. Where they lived can help too; very often people were buried under their name, date and farm/cottage name and little else. Even other descendants of your ancestors, who died more recently, may help point you in the right direction, so include their details if you know them

That's a kind offer! Here's what I know:
My 3xGrGrandfather, Duncan Grant, left Duthil for America in 1803 and never returned. (Prior to departure, he was listed as Servant at Bridge end of Carr). We believe his father was Robert Grant, who died prior to 1794--no trace of his grave. His mother was Mary [or Mary Anne?] Cumming who, after Robert's death, married Hugh Macdonald and had three girls, Janet b. 18 NOV 1794 d. 03 AUG 1857, Jean/Jane b. 02 OCT 1797, Mary b. 07 SEP 1799. His sister Margaret married (c. 1815?) William Cameron, son of John in Mullochard.
Another possibility would be his mother's two brothers, Peter and Robert Cumming:
Peter Cumming b. abt 1780, married 7 Feb 1805 to Margaret Cameron, dau of David Cameron, Gallovie
Robert Cumming, b. ?? married 23 April 1815 to Ann Grant, dau to John Grant, farmer in Balnafoich
Any trace of these folks would be wonderful. And thank you!

it's not a terribly big cemetery compared to those in the cities, so no doubt not so likely to create demand if you know what i mean. it all started when i visited the Howff cemetery [Dundee] MI pages online and realised what a wonderful resource it was .. and also appreciated that it didn't get there by itself. so my husband and i set to to do the same thing with our own cemetery
