Hi Marguerite, I would not wish to get into a debate about any Farquhar/Farquharson connection but I am researching the Farquharsons of Strathdon and the surrounding parishes. If you have any Farquharson threads from that area, I'll be happy to help.

Ok, I have many people in my tree, who have Farquhar and Farquharson as middle names. I noticed that on some of their birth records, that the Doctors name was either one of those, so that's how I thought it got into my family line, however of course if I'm able to go back farther I might see the families are connected. List of people: - John Farquharson Mowat Birth 27 Oct 1863 in Catterline, Kincardine (Child of David Mowat and Elizabeth Taylor) - Edward Farquhar Mowat Birth abt 1848 in Gourdon, Bervie, Kincardineshire (child of James Mowat and Margaret Duncan) - Elizabeth Christine Farquharson Mowat Birth 13 June 1870 in Catterline Village, Kincardine (Child of David Mowat and Elizabeth Taylor) - Alexander Farquharson Shaw Birth abt 1876 in Bervie, Kincardine (child of David R Shaw, and Annie ?, married Jane Wood Mowat, daughter of Edwared Farquhar Mowat and Catherine Ritchie) - Harriet Farquharson Mowat Birth 1 Nov 1910 in York, Toronto, Ontario, Canada (child of George Mowat and Elizabeth Margaret Hewitt) *in my direct line... -Lilian Isabella Farquharson Valentine Birth abt 1910 (prob Glenbervie, Kincardine) (wife of James Gove. James is the illigit son of Christina Gove, who was b abt 1870, the daughter of John Mowat and Christian Gove. I'm sorry, I realize this is the aberdeen mail list. But I participate in it, and I was addressing the namd Farquhar/Farquharson in this thread. Strange that I don't have anyone with an actual surname of Farquhar/Farquharson. Some of my Mowat's did move to Aberdeen over time, so lets connect that way, if anyone has them.

Hi Francis, I have a few FARQUHARSONs of Strathdon in my ancestry, particularly in relation to FORBES. One is a "Miss Farquharson," daughter of John Farquharson of Allergue, who married George Forbes, Third Laird of Skellater, in about 1665-ish. They produced 7 children. Do you have a better identification of this Miss Farquharson? Thank you, Venita PS: Is your data posted on the internet someplace? I would love to peruse your Strathdon data. Mine is posted on my website at http://www.venitap.com/Genealogy/WebCards/wc_toc.htm On Aug 20, 2013, at 2:57 AM, Frank Farquharson <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Marguerite, > > I would not wish to get into a debate about any Farquhar/Farquharson > connection but I am researching the Farquharsons of Strathdon and the > surrounding parishes.

Hi Venita, Thanks for that and I'll have a look at your website. I believe "my" Farquharsons are of the Allargue branch but very low down on the pecking order. I'll see what I can find out about Miss Farquharson for you in the various references I have. If you contact me off list at [email protected] I can give you some downloads of my research.
