Hi Norrie
Yes the information you provided is them.  I am glad to know you will be going out there next week.  I was in Scotland in 2003 at Elie and never found the grave but then again I was limited for time.  I appreciate the efforts.  I would like to ask you something else by the way.  My Buist family owned large estates in Forgan Parish and Abdie Parish.  Some of them are still standing.  I would like to know if you would be interested in doing an old Scotsman a great favor and might be interested in taking a few photographs of Kirktonbarns which is now a B & B in Forgan Parish.  I have tried numerous times to contact the owners to take a few photographs for me but to no avail.  Also some estates in Abdie Parish two or three to be exact.  It would mean a great deal not only to myself but my grandchildren as I spent the last 35 years doing my family history and would like to present my family with the vast information that I found.  I regret not having gone to these places.  I am new at this roots chat but would appreciate your help.  Also in answer to your question about the Thomas Buist family.  Yes, Lillias Johanna Lumsdaine Buist married Robert Rutherford Cook and they had one child in Edinburgh.  Lillias died on June 24, 1947.  Thanks for all your help and if you cannot do this, can you recommend anyone that can?  Cheers,
Mike

Hi Norrie,
Thomas Buist married Lillias McLennan on Dec 4, 1854.  She died on March 2, 1901 and is buried next to Thomas.  They had one child, Johanna Lumsdaine born Sept 22, 1855.  Let me know what you can come up with.  I understand that they have a gravestone.  Thank you.

Fife / Kirktonbarns, Forgan Parish Photographs
« on: Monday 03 October 11 01:33 BST (UK)  »
I would appreciate anyone's help regarding obtaining a few photographs of my ancestral estate located in Forgan Parish, Fife.  It is called Kirktonbarns and is now a B & B.  I would appreciate any kind soul that would take a few photographs of the estate outside and inside for me.  I would be glad to share any documents showing that my family owned the estate until the year 1880.  It would mean a great deal to an old Scotsman who resides in the USA!  Thank you very much and I look forward to hearing from anyone.
