Re reference to the Moray Burial Ground Research Group website  (www.mbgrg.org) in the above post.
This site contains abstracted data from Elgin Cathedral Churchyard, NOT Elgin Cemetery.
The latter, contains some 5,000 stones, and work has not yet started on transcribing the monumental inscriptions as of Dec 2009

However the other site mentioned, http://libindx.moray.gov.uk/mainmenu.asp does have all the MI references from Elgin Cemetery collected in 1978/9 by a job creation team for Moray District Council. There are one or two inaccuracies, but it's an excellent finding aid.

Yes indeed. Thanks for adding that very pertinent comment.
I fully agree that the LIBINDX is a most valuable resource, and MBGRG works closely with Moray Council, and we link to that particular resource on our website.
The 1978/9 survey is now some 30 years old of course, and MBGRG is engaged in recording and updating all available MI information for Moray burial sites, some of which are not included in the LIBINDX, (including 'buried tombstones, many of which have never been recorded elsewhere), and publishing the results in 'as exactly recorded on the stone' detail.
Both sites are therefore worthy of the attention of the serious researcher ...
