Dear Listers: My FORBES family originated in Strathdon, Aberdeen. I have traced them to the late 1700's. Later they moved to Logie-Coldstone where they had property in that area. John FORBES b 20 Feb 1775 Bluefold Strathdon married 1803 Mains of Newe, Strathdon to Elspet WALKER b & b/p unknown. Elspet d. 12 NOV 1859 Upper Ruthvan, Logie-Coldstone. John FORBES' parents were John Forbes residing @ Bluefold, Strathdon 1773 married Mary FORBES date unknown. I am trying to trace the parents of John & Mary FORBES. Any help in that direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and consideration. Irene Esson, West Vancouver, BC Canada
