Sylvia,
Thanks so much for posting the Land Tax material. It is a lot of work and
much appreciated.
Would it be too much to ask you to include what volume and page of the
Nelson Land Taxes Register each item is from?
I guess it just gives the year and no specific dates of registration?
When people do give full information on sources for the material they post,
I collect it for the Clan Campbell Society (North America) archive which is
a resource for our Genealogist. But most of what we all post doesn't have
statements (of where the material was found) to make it worth while doing
that. Material on websites (unless it is professionally prepared like
scotlandspeople etc.) is, like the IGI, a bit questionable but useful as an
initial guide for where to look in what records for certain material. So I
don't use website addresses as references - but if they show where the
material was from originally, then it could be useful.
If it is not possible or inconvenient, I quite understand and please don't
feel I'm being critical, I'm only being appreciative.
Thanks, Diarmid
(Campbell)
