    Notes:

    "...hook up Walter (Lord Duffus) de Moravia to his granddaughter MaryMoravia. Here is the missing link: Walter married Euphemia, daughter ofFerquhard McTaggart, 1st Earl of Ross. Walter died about 1263. SP7:231-232; SP 8:321; Burke's B&P (1999) 2769. Walter and Euphemia had ason Freskin (of Duffus) Moravia, whom you already have in your GEDCOM,and he was the father of Mary Moravia. I note that you list Ferquhard asthe 2nd instead of the 1st Earl of Ross which is fine with me, but Isuggest that you add Euphemia, married to Walter de Moravia, Lord ofDuffus, 1224-1262 to the list of his children shown on your ID sheetI00887"
