Hi Lynn,
    Just wondering if you are near Tomnacross Churchyard.  If so, I would like to take you up on offer to photo a couple of graves.   Not in a rush though, just like last week -  JK  ;D  - Thanks Kate

Hi Kate,
Aye of course no worries at all. Will probably be a couple of weeks before I manage to get out there though due to working full-time. Let me know the details and I'll see what I can do.

Hi there - Finally got the information together for Tomnacross Graveyard.   We are looking for an Alexander Fraser - died 10 December 1912, born about 1840.   His wife Christina (Christy) Cameron Fraser - died 23 November 1910, born about 1844.   Also, if any children in the same area - John Fraser, Duncan Fraser, Helen, Christina, or Elizabeth Mary Fraser.    Thanks for your help.   Kate

Once you have the photo or photos, let me know with a post and I will send you a PM with my email address.   Thanks.

Hi Kate,
Finally managed to get out to Tomnacross today, went round the graveyard twice, plenty of Fraser's, a few Cameron's but we never managed to find your ones.  :(

Kenneth, I'm hoping to get round to Tomnahurich next weekend weather permitting.

Martin, I still haven't managed to find a way in to Dochfour, we took a run in there some time ago but my partner chickened out before we managed to get to the graveyard. I have tried phoning them a couple of times but they never seem to answer the phone.

Hi Lynn,

Are you still available for Tomnahurich cemetery lookups ?

I have the necessary information from Fiona Morrison.

How do we arrange an exchange of email addresses ?

Thanks

Iain

I have pm'd you.

Will try to get round to Tomnahurich this week sometime, life has been pretty hectic lately so sorry for not managing before now.

Hi Kenneth,

Did you take Ghost Whisperer up on her offer of the photo? I had a wander round today but was unable to find the grave. They don't have a very good ordering system so it's not even easy to find a section without good directions.

Iain had a reply from Fiona which gave explicit directions and I found the lair without any difficulty so this helps a lot.
