Can somone take a photo for me please?
« on: Saturday 16 February 13 07:02 GMT (UK) »
Today Ruskie helped me find an address in Outertown, Orkney. This is the streetview sceen from Google maps.

http://maps.google.com.au/maps?hl=en&q=peters+loch+orkney&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&bvm=bv.42553238,d.dGY&biw=1024&bih=607&wrapid=tlif136098569159310&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wl

The related tread is http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,635968.0.html.

As much as I would love to go and take the photo myself I don't have the airfare funds or holiday leave.

Please don't go out in the cold and the snow, but if you live close and remember this tread in the spring. My friend and I would love to see what is left of her ancestrial home.

Thanks in advance, cheers Ted

akc and Ruskie - thank you so much.

I feel I have neglected this after posting for help, I have been working 16 hour days and have only had time to look occasionally.

Thank you Ruskie for keeping these threads going for me. I feel very guilty about my lack of feedback.  :-[

Don't feel guilty. I think we are all enjoying the hunt, and all this additional information helps a lot. I'm sure your friend will be very happy with everything you have found about her family.
