I've been compiling my info since 1991 and seriously since 1993 I started off with cardfile and then a mate put it into access.
I started with Banchory and then Torphins, Durris, Stonehaven and then Turriff and 12 miles round (Just like the book said).
I then thought I'd better make an area I'd take in as I'm a member of Aberdeen Family History Society I thought their area would be good. Kincardineshire Aberdeenshire and Banffshire. They have a big military section and I started asking members to take photos or make lists of their local memorials.
Lately I have been going into Morayshire as some info went over from Banffshire and a guy I know had a copy of the Morayshire Roll of Honour.
The FHS has a copy of Shetland Roll of Honour I thought it's not being done and only one stop on the boat from Aberdeen and quite a few joined 7th Bn Gordons my special interest... so now you know 13,000+ men and only six women.
If you look the entries I have several fields and like to fill them. Son of in the first notes field with Husband of in the next field with extra info Occ & Census where I can.
