Thank you Both.
I think it could be Boonies because I see from the map it's not far from Nether Knock and a large portion of the family were in Nether Knock.

The Common Room / Calkenfoot, Scotland

Hello
I am trying to find two places: Calkenfoot and Bonese, Bonnies, Boneese, Westerkirk. This 2nd place is spelled 3 different ways on several different Tombstones/Obits so I don't know which spelling is correct. All related to Thomson family members in Westerkirk, Dumfrieshire (Dumfries and Galloway now).
"Also Agnew Dalgleish, his wife, who died at Calkenfoot, March 21st, 1877, aged 32 years."
Cemetery is: Westerkirk Churchyard, Bentpath, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. I know Bentpath is just a short distance from Westerkirk Parish Church, in Dumfries and Galloway.
"He died on 13 Feb 1837 in Bonnies, Westerkirk, Dumfries."
"THOMSON, Bridget b: May 8, 1809 in Boneese, Westerkirk, Dumfries. Scotland."
"He died on 11 May 1872 in Bonese, Westerkirk, Dumfries. He was buried in Westerkirk, Dumfries."
Because I can't seem to find a place called Calkenfoot, Scotland I'm thinking it may be the individual name of a farm or croft. But they make Boneese sound like a town.
Any suggestions for Calkenfoot or Boneese?
Thank you,
Beverly

I'm sorry if you misunderstood me. I was not trying to argue that there was a town named Glack in Kirkmichael. I was just stating what info I had. You asked about my sources. The info I had only said Kirkmichael, the info about Glack was from another researcher who had no sources but the map I sent you.
I included the map I had found on the other person's family tree so you could see what I was looking at. I had already said that I was taking the name "Glack" off my records because you told me there was no place called Glack in Kirkmichael.
Yes, I looked at your maps, thank you for sending them. I did believe you when you told me there was no Glack in Kirkmichael.
The genealogical evidence I have for this family are baptism records, Scotland Censuses for various years, marriage registrations, and death registrations.
Again, thank you for your help.

I wanted to Thank you again for the list for the John Fraser. Section Number on Plan 212 in the Keith Graveyard. I found all but 3 of the Fraser's on the list, in my tree. The 3 I could not find were children and it's hard to match when you don't have a birth date or a parents name. But I also found several other people I wasn't expecting. I know there are more Fraser's buried in the Keith Graveyard then is on the list but I don't need exact location like Section Numbers. It's just wonderful knowing where they are interned so if I ever get the chance to visit Scotland, I will know where to visit.
To make it easier for other researchers I have added memorials for all those I found on Findagrave.com, it's a wonderful genealogical tool, especially when people add Bio's for the ancestor.

The other researcher (family tree that said Glack) had no sources what so ever. They just had a map picture with the name Glack on it but it did not show the county. (I have attached the picture I copied) She has it labeled "Glack in Kirkmichael". It's hard to read but there is a name to the right that says Nethertown, a name under the word Glack says Pootwick or Footwick and a name above Glack that says Allanreid. Other names on the map are Glenlivel, Tullich, and Whitefolds.
I couldn't pull up a Nethertown.
Allanread comes up as a ruined farmsteading situated near the banks of the River Livet (Canmore). Glenlivel comes up as the Battle of Glenlivet 1594 near Allanreid and Morinsh.
Glenlivet is the glen in the Scottish Highlands through which the River Livet flows (doesn't list a county).
Whitefolds comes up as Whitefolds Farm, a prospering Scottish red meat industry and Whitefold Wood, Perth and Kinross. The Gazetteer for Scotland - Moray, lists a Whitefold.
Pootwick or footwick pulled up nothing.
Tullich is a village in Aberdeenshire, Scotland (The Battle of Tullich, in 1652).
The family I have been researching is Fraser.
Father: William Fraser b. 1767 Scotland d. pos Banffshire, Scotland
Mother: Marjery McKenzie b. 1768 Scotland d. pos Banffshire, Scotland
Children:
Isobel Fraser b. 1786 Glack, Kirkmichael, Banffshire, Scotland
John Fraser b. 1789 Glack, Kirkmichael, Banffshire, Scotland
Helen Fraser b. 1792 Glack, Kirkmichael, Banffshire, Scotland
Margaret Fraser b. 1794 Glack, Kirkmichael, Banffshire, Scotland
James Fraser b. 1801 Glack, Kirkmichael, Banffshire, Scotland
They all died in Keith, Banffshire, Scotland.
I have found birth registrations for 4 of the 5 children. They list the place of birth as Kirkmichael, Banffshire, Scotland. No mention of Glack so again I have no idea where this other person got the name Glack from.
I know that I have found other family member's death certs that have listed the name of the farm they lived on but they also list the city or county so I am thinking, like suggested, that Glack is just a reference to a location within Kirkmichael (ie. Farm or Croft) and not a town.

Unfortunately, it's not a document that I found the info from. It was on another researchers tree and I don't know where they got the info from. They have it as the place of birth for several children in the family. I think I will just put down that they were born in Kirkmichael, Banffshire and leave the Glack off seeing as it can't be found. At least until I can find some kind of source that gives the name of the town.
Thank you for your help, it is very much appreciated.
