Dear Kili and Linda So nice to know this isn't a list of one after all. My Forbes family was born in Auchtermuchty, Fife Scotland in the 1790's and early 1800's. Alexander FORBES emmigrated to Baltimore, Maryland, USA in 1828 with his wife and family. My 2xgreat grandma , Jean Forbes married Thomas Taylor that same year and moved to Ontario Canada. Alexander still shows up on the Maryland census in the 1860's. The family was still corresponding in the 1870's. Helen in Ontario Canada
