Dornoch East Church Records
« on: Thursday 04 September 25 15:55 BST (UK) »
Afternoon all.

Trying to track down a burial in 1857 of Donald Ross (1783 - 1857), who I think may be in Dornoch East, or Dornoch Free church graveyard. His death certificate just has him down as being buried in the churchyard of Dornoch. Nothing on Findagrave for him. Are there any local resources available online with burials there?

Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
