Dear Listers, a follow-on to my previous posting: Apparently there was an Alexander ADAMSON b. 30-11-1845 in Aberdeenshire, who went out to Argentina. But I haven't been able to find his birth details in FamilySearch. He may have been related to the Adamson family in Whitehills, Boyndie, Banffshire. There is a hint of illegitimacy somewhere, so Adamson may not have been his surname at birth. A long shot, but does anyone know of any candidates? Howard.
