Bught Papers

Post by Gordon » Wed Feb 24, 2010 6:40 pm

I need your help again. I'm looking a "Some Fraser Pedigrees". There are footnote references to "Bught Papers". I've looked in the National Library Archives and a couple of other places but can not find this. Can you tell me what they are and how I can access them?

Thanks,

Gordon
