Just had a quick look but the one relative that I know died in Shetland, got the certificate, is not listed. Will certainly take a better look as there is a lot of information on there. Maureen

PLEASE DO NOT: send me information concerning your thread on the board as it should be posted on your request where all members can see it. PLEASE DO NOT: ask me for help with lookups as they should be placed on the boards to get the best possible result. PLEASE DO NOT: open your tree just because I have posted information on your thread as I will not be related. THANK YOU. Researching Carter, Cass and Walker in England.

That is a brilliant site, Sylvia. Sadly no Shetland ancestors - I used to live there. There used to be a wonderful 'virtual tour' of Shetland, unfortunately it doesn't seem to work anymore :o( maggie
