Surnames: Forbes Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/EEX.2ACIB/629.1 Message Board Post: Do you mean Northern Ireland? I have been there and seen where the Forbes and Stevenson's lived. My family is descended from Henry Forbes' son Robert, who came to the US with his brother James to meet his 3 sister's Jemima, Rachel and Elizabeth. A cousin Elizabeth also came over later. Our research while we were in Northern Ireland brought to light a brother that lived next door to Henry, James. James married another Stevenson girl and had a child Matthew. He had quite a few children also. If any of this sounds familiar, please let me know.
