Ballachulish

Sorry but not a Facebook user.

 I am actually just researching a trip in June that I am taking to Scotland. My Great Grandfather, Hugh MacInnes was from Ballachulish (shinty player and worked in the quarry). While going through some of his things, I found this photo. On the back it says August 4, 1924 To: Mrs Henry Nicol 232 Haight St San Francisco From A. McInnes 42 East Laroch Ballachulish East.   I tried to attach the picture but it keeps giving me an error message.

Hello Averydog,

Welcome to RootsChat. The error message will normally give you a clue to what the problem is, try to rename it each filename has to be unique.

Hello Moderator,

I am trying to contact Martin (Briscoe) about another project he was involved with:
https://www.airfieldresearchgroup.org.uk/forum/airfield-discussion/3104-raf-y-stations-etc-discussion-thread?start=100

Unfortunately their 'contact' does not work.


Many thanks,
