Yesterday I posted official extracts of my birth and adoption records to @HighlandCouncil with the hope that the burial lairs of my birth mother, grandparents and great grandparents in #Gairloch’s New Cemetery can be assigned to me, the only living descendant. [1/3] 
The graves concerned are the middle and right-hand ones in the photo above. I want to have the graves cleaned & the lettering re-done. When the time comes, I may join them there, as there is still space. [2/3]
More people to whom I am related are buried in this cemetery than anywhere else on earth, with more distant ancestors and relatives buried in the adjacent Old Burial Ground. [3/3]
So far, so good: @HighlandCouncil returned my original documents within three working days & confirmed they were looking at my request. Not so good: @RoyalMail have managed to tear my *pristine* birth and adoption certificates, despite them being returned in a reinforced envelope
