re: purchasing CD's for Argyle & Beath, North Ayrshire.

Could someone please advise me.

I have purchased a membership for a good friend to the above FHS thinking I would also be able to purchase cd's of BDM's for my friend once a member.

Would anyone know where I could purchase some in the areas of Dalry, Beath, & Kilburnie please.

Thank you.

Dear DiMac

Did you manage to track down the information you were seeking about purchasing BDM CDs which would cover Beith and Dalry in Ayrshire, and also Argyllshire?

Dear DiMac

Not sure where you have already tried and how much you know about Beith/Kilbirnie - they are both small towns about 7 miles from where I live. They fall into North Ayrshire and so you might find some helpful information at these sites:-

http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/index.php?count ... ion=county - this will give you links to many other sites
http://www.genealogy-of-uk.com/Scotland ... ealogy.htm
http://www.scotlandsfamily.com/deaths.htm

The village of Beith: http://www.beith.org/

The small town of Kilbirnie: http://www.kilbirnie.uk.net/

Family History Societies:- http://www.largsnafhs.org.uk/

There are other societies which cover other areas in Ayrshire, but this one would most likely be the relevant one for you.

The county of Argyll covers a large geographical area - is there a particular part that you are interested in?

Glasgow & West of Scotland FHS does cover Argyll so it is worth having a look at their site:- http://www.gwsfhs.org.uk/

Also worth a look, if you've not already done that:-

Oh Liz, what a wonderful list of links you have given me. No don't know much about the
area at all but hope to go there in the not too distant future - time permitting.
The above is a huge help and very much appreciated.

Thank you very much, =D>

If you are actually planning to visit Beith/Kilbirnie in person - do let me know - I only live about 15 minutes away and would be happy to meet you.
