Dear List While I'm sure glad this isn't a list of one. Many people have checked in but no leads yet. On Tom Madden's suggestion, I'm including a bit more about my FORBES in this mailing. The farthest I've been able to get back in this line is a marriage between an Alexander Forbes and Christian Brown in 1753 in Flisk, Fife, Scotland.The banns were also read in Abdie, Fife, Scotland.They had nine children between 1764 and 1769 in that parish. James, my 3x great grandpa was born in in 1765. He married Margaret Page in 1792 in Flisk.. They had 8 children between 1793 and approx. 1804 in Flisk and Auchtermuchty, Fife Scotland. My 2x great grandma, Jean married Thomas Taylor and emmigrated to Ontario in 1828. Her Brother ,Alexander ,moved with his wife and family that same year to Baltimore Maryland.We have lost touch with that branch. I do know that one of Alexanders daughters married a McCandlish in Baltimore.Hope someone sees a connection Helen in Ontario
