Looking for family links to my Great, great grandmother Euphemia Munro Moffat. Born around 1806 at Nigg, Ross and Cromarty Scotland. Her parents William Munro (farmer, also refered to as spirit merchant at Abbeyhill) and Janet Ross (previously McCulloch ?). I have a detailed history of her life after 1838 when she marries Abram Moffat of Musselburgh. But her personal family history has proved to be frustrating. I believe there is a connection to Balnagown on the Ross side.
