Merry christmas to all My ancestry (John Brebner and Isobell Robertson) came from Tarland, Aberdeen via Canada to Australia. (John Brebner (Tarland, Aberdeen) and Mary Rennie(Perth to Australia) to Australia. Their tombstones are at Mathinna, Tasmania. There are no direct male Brebners left from their family of 3 boys and 4 girls. Only the girls had children. My great grandmother, daughter of John and Mary, was Annie Christina married to John Crawford, born in Tasmania but believed to be from a family in Scotland. John Crawford's father was born in Middlesex. We have no proof, other than family stories that any further ancestry was from Scotland. A few years ago I also made it to Aberdeen for New Year. My son, his partner and I were in Edinburgh when everything was snowed in so we went by bus instead of train back to London. Next time, if I make it that far it will have to be in summer. >From an Australian with Aberdeen heritage, I wish you all a very Merry Season.

It would be more accurate to say they came from Tarland, AberdeenSHIRE. "Aberdeen" is the city, the wider county is "Aberdeenshire". It might also be worth pointing out that the full name of the parish is "Tarland and Migvie". If you haven't already checked them, you will find an index to the monumental inscriptions of both kirkyards (Tarland and Migvie) at: http://www.anesfhs.org.uk/databank/miindex/miindex.php Gavin Bell
