I have most of the Afflecks in Roxburghshire in my Tree and can account for most of the MI's. Any particular one?

Images could be difficult as you mention a number of different sites. They are not exactly close together either so it's quite a distance between some of them and there are often two locations for some of your places.

As an example,

Gordon (old) 
Gordon (new)

Eccles (with Birgham and Leitholm) covers three different sites in three different villages, not a huge distance between them (maybe 5 miles or so) but i would estimate there are upwards of 600 stones just at Eccles and Leitholm alone.

Kelso & Kelso - Rosebank Cemetery are two different sites, Rosebank is quite a large place and the number of stones runs into four figures.

Both Ancrum and Birgham are very old sites and many stones are now illegible, the same can probaby be said of Ayton too.

I think I misinterpreted your message. Thought you were researching the Afflecks.  I do know the Border region and have all the MI's for the family.
Thanks

I think I have narrowed my search to the Hawick region.
I have many reasons to believe my family resided in Hawick/Jedburgh area.
6 Kirkgate Hawick

George and Helen Brockie on 10 DEC 1852 Hawick, Roxburgh, Scotland (Brotchie on Immigration Records)
-George Affleck
-Joseph Affleck

I also belive that the line will wind it's way back to Glasgow / Aberdeen as we move back towards 1800.
