Thanks Sue......that's really kind. Have mental picture of being lost in the midst of Scotland and not being able to understand anyone. (more likely they won't understand me lol) |

Sorry about that. On the phone to friend who I am visiting in Leighton Buzzard before I go to Aberdeen. International jetsetter I am lol. I'm travelling up next Monday (must remind Aunt) and leaving following Monday. Don't know my plans exactly for next week, it depends on what days my aunt is off. (I think Friday & weekends) I usually spend the day time doing my family tree but thought that I should visit the places where my ancestors lived this time. Don't know th eaddress in Ellon. They married in Fortrie. is this part of Ellon, does it still exist? I may start bombarding you with questions about the area. Just tell me to shut up when it gets too much lol Thanks again |
