Dumfries Cemeteries
« on: Thursday 09 January 20 13:21 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

I am originally from Dumfries and I know the cemeteries pretty well, after my gran died, as a teenager I would go up to her grave often and always wondered about all of the graves up there not realising then I would start a hobby of tracing my family tree! And become quite obsessed!!

I am a member of Ancestry and have come across a few records from various cemeteries in Dumfries where my ancestors are buried.

My question is who do I contact about the records to find out a location of a grave as listed?

Any help appreciated

Thanks
Carol

Also put the name date & cemetery details up, someone will do a lookup for you if possible.
