This is a repost as I didn't post it correctly the first time.

I'm looking for anyone with a connection to this family:

Robina came over to Boston MA, USA in 28 Apr 1923, her mother Isabella Ewen was listed as living in Kirk Villa Kemnay, Scotland. Robert Anderson Ewen died 27/12/1918 in WWI and is buried in France at ST. GERMAIN-AU-MONT-D'OR COMMUNAL CEMETERY EXTENSION. Isabella Christie Ewen remained in Kemnay, Scotland and may be buried there. 

Hi,I wondered if anyone had any information on the Middletons in and around Kemnay.

I was in Kemnay in September and met a very nice lady at the Church.I asked if it was ok to take some photos some of the graves of the Middletons.She actually took the time to introduce me to her husband who knew some of the history of the Middletons from the area. Unfortunately my trip was done in a bit of a rush and I didnt have much info with me at the time, so wasnt much help to him in trying to fathem out which of the two Middleton families i was descended from. You may know who I am talking about, but unfortunately I have forgotten their name, but he stays across the road from the garage on the main road through the town towards Inverurie.

does anyone know who is responsible for the upkeep of place of origin??? nobody seems to know, it is a disgrace the grass over footpaths etc and new trees planted think grass should be cut first so if anyone can help it would be most appreciated

this web page is ace can you o an updated on please

 Dear Readers

I wonder if this upcoming book may be of interest to any Kemnay folk , past and present ?

I happened to find this information, below, on the internet

The People's Army: The Home Guard in Scotland 1940-1944

Book Description

 Based on contemporary archive materials and personal accounts, Brian Osborne examines the human story of the Home Guard in Scotland and the impact that this remarkable organisation had on society and on those that became involved with it. The Home Guard, and its forerunner the Local Defence Volunteers, was genuinely a 'people's army' with its own ethos, character and political influence. At its peak nearly 2 million men were enrolled, trained and served without pay in their own time and, usually, after a full day's work at the civilian occupation. The Home Guard played a vital part in the defence of the country from 1940-1944, but despite its significance the story of the Home Guard in Scotland has never before been fully told - from Shetland to Galloway, Scottish Home Guardsmen fulfilled a wide range of roles far beyond the popular image of the 'Dad's Army' of general service infantry battalions. Horseback patrols in the Borders, armoured trains, anti-aircraft gunners at factories throughout Scotland, anti-aircraft rocket batteries from Aberdeen to Greenock all saw the Home Guard actively engaged in the national struggle.

I am tracing our family tree and have found that some of my husband's relatives came from Kemnay/Cluny/ Inverurie areas. Their surname is Bisset and I am trying to trace them back as far as I can. I know his grandparents James Forbes Bisset and his wife Isabella Christie McCombie are buried in Kemnay Cemetry, but have been unable to find burial sites for any other relatives. I would be pleased to hear from anyone else researching this family. convent girl
