Hi, I'm James, from Canada, now living in the 'frozen north' of Scotland.

Most of my research concerns Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire families but I have numerous other interests elsewhere.

Two items that help keep me going through the research are in this pic that I would have used as my Avatar though it seems custom versions aren't allowed - is that right?

James.

now living in the 'frozen north' of Scotland.

its not that bad James. Lovely up there.

Most of my research concerns Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire families but I have numerous other interests elsewhere.

Dave,

Thanks.

Aberdeen's down south to those of us on the north coast - at least 5 hours drive south (well and a bit east ) Will be there (Aberdeen) end of month en route to Shetland.

Now, back to avatars - I know where, and on a similar forum, I know how, but here it aint working for me so far. Is that because I'm too new?

James.

5 hours!! What are you in a tractor?! he he

I was at Wick a couple of months ago and had to goto Dingwall, Inverness, Forres and Banff then onto Aberdeen - sure it only took me 3 to 4 hours!
