Harry,
  Thanks very much for that info! We were wondering where they had gone as they were not on the Findochty census after a period of time! Do you know if there are still burial sites there in Pittenweem?
I did make a trip to Findochty last year and found the grave yards riddled with distance relatives of the My Flett's  but not the ones I was looking for..I live in Australia and would love to know more info if u have it.
I was looking for a home place or any distance relatives?

Cheers,

Fran

There's a fine old churchyard in Pittenweem. I'm afraid I'm seldom back in Fife myself these days, but it might be worth posting on the Fife thread here at Rootschat and asking if anyone who lives in the vicinity would mind checking for Flett headstones there and maybe taking a photo for you.

As I said, these Fletts have many descendants in Fife and beyond. The lady I was friendly with had a distinguished career as a teacher, head teacher, training-college lecturer and author of some books of local history.

I'm afraid she died a good few years ago. She was of my parents' generation, and I'm now 67. When I was a little boy at primary school she was the headmistress of another local school. But we became friendly in later life, after I wrote a book about our village. She was unmarried and had no siblings. I could maybe send you a personal message with more detail about her.
