Could someone tell me where Alyth, Angus is located

Thanks

About 15 miles (as the crow flies) North West of Dundee, now in the county of Perth and Kinross.

So would I try to find birth records for early 1800 in the Perthshire section?

Hi weasel
To be honest i don't know, I only know where Alyth is.....
You could try the Genuki site
http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/sct/ANS/index.html
where there's an explanation of the various counties and administrative area Alyth has found itself in over the years.

Or indeed refer to RootsChats  Angus (Forfarshire) advice on the message board

Hi weasel1

The MI's for Alyth are listed in the east Perthshire book

so I would tend to look among the Perthshire records (could be wrong)

testaments are with the commissariat of Dunkeld

Thanks every one.  I have a problem though.  When I look on IGI family search  I find Janet Deuchars born abt 1811 Alyth Angus father Patrick, spouse William Hunter m 24 May 1832 but I can find no mention of Janet in the IGI batch numbers for Perth of a Janet born with that father.
