IV26. THERE ARE OVER 25 ENTRIES FOR ANDERSONS IN THE AULD KIRKYARD SELKIRK. I SUGGEST YOU BUY THE CD FROM THE BORDER FAMILY HISTORY SOCIETY. IT HAS FULL PHOTOS OF EACH HEADSTONE .ONE WAS THE WIFE TO MUNGO PARK THE EXPLORER AND OTHERS DOCTORS AND. SURGEONS AND SOME DIED IN OZ AND USA. WORTH A LOOK.
Hi alan14578, thanks for the information on that, i will look into getting that cd, i have looked at the Andersons in selkirk and in particular the Anderson who was a surgeon linked to Mungo park, but i can't seem to find a link to my family, there was also a Anderson who was a farmer and one who was a mason around the 1830-1850s period.
The Anderson and mungo link makes interesting reading and one of the sons went with Mungo on his journey to explore africa, but unfortunately died there.
