Yes, JD, I'm following. What would you like me to find for you in the yearbooks? They're quite lengthy and it'll take me time to locate what you want located. If it's about Sarah Beall, I can tell you that the yearbooks contain the same speculation that is carried down thru the years that she was indeed a Beall (pronounced Bell), although she was probably a close relative of Ninian, probably a niece, as opposed to a daughter. I met with Don McGruther last weekend and he believes that she was a Beall and not a Mills, etc. He is currently going thru old parish records in Scotland and hopes to look at records in London where he believes some information may be gleaned. Again, though, this is a lengthy and time consuming process. So many of the old records are written in a variety of languages, including Latin and some sort of code, may Rune figures.

By the way, is anyone at the Enumclaw, WA Highland games following any of this on their pc's. It's this weekend and I plan on going. I'd love to meet anyone I've corresponded with.
Regards, Sue
