Aberdour MI Lookup - *COMPLETED*
« on: Sunday 12 July 09 12:31 BST (UK) »
Does anybody have a copy of the MI booklet for Aberdour?  I am interested in Stone No. 48.  The surnames are Stewart, Gordon, Cooper and Gaul.  If anyone can provide a copy of the transcription, it would be much appreciated!

Thanks for this!  James's age on Stone 48 gave his birth as approximately 1783/84.  I can confirm that stone 49 is referring to his parents with an IGI entry:

Excellent! Hopefully the information on stone 49 can take you back even further. :)

Aberdour graveyard is quite generous in that way. Three generations of my family are buried side by side there (that is why I thought 49 may be handy).
