Since I have never done anything of this extent I welcome all feedback. I am using jpg format and pages (about 90-120k each), will load slowly, but at least they will be available. You will find it convenient to read the pages as the next one loads.
Would anyone be interested in these images on cd? Let me know.
Also I have heard photocopies of the original book is for sale by Tuttle Antiquarian Books
Photos of the Hebrides of which Lewis is largest

There may be some exceptions, such as missing pages,
misplaced pages, etc.
I can get these repaired as I (and you) find them.
Now for a navigation system......I think I have what I want. I
just need to get it completely installed.
Also some photos (drawings?) are uploaded and I will provide a
way for you to access these as well as time permits.
What can you do in return?
HELP!!!!
(1) Send me your gedcom. Which I will merge with my Morrison
Master File which hopefully I can post in gedcom format somewhere
else and link to from here. In the meantime I have posted it as a
decendant tree at:
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~terrybell/Morrison/
(2) Anything you find on these pages that are not listed in my
descendant tree in the above url, especially if it concerns your
family line, I would appreciate a gedcom of .
(3) If someone would want to help me try to compile a complete descendant tree of these Morrisons, it would help a lot. I'm not going to try and tell you it will be easy. Please note that there will be conflicting information and some people are very stubborn about their Morrison heritage!!
