I had thought that my Gordons were all buried in Kennebunk and Lyman, however an aunt has told me we have Gordons buried in Biddeford and Saco! Looks like it pays to ask an older relation more than once :O) She'll be taking me to these Gordons the end of August, and has promised to try and write down what she knows about my Gordon family tree. We shall see what we shall see! John Wesley Gordon of Kennebunk, Maine

John Wesley -- Don't worry about it, It's only a scam from Halberts of Bath, Ohio. It's only a collection of names and addresses collected from phone books. -- Cheers, Jim Gordon, Laurel, MD USA [email protected] wrote: > > I came in late! > What book? > John Wesley Gordon

Hey, Thickmick === Tom, I assume from that handle that you're Irish. I'm half-Irish on both sides. I don't know whether that makes me 3/4 Irish or what. 8-) Anyway, what's your Gordon line? My Gordons do not appear to be descended from Alexander, so I'm looking for someone else. I'm descended from Robert Gordon of York, Maine. He married Lydia Bragdon, daughter of Samuel Bragdon of York, Robert's mother was Elizabeth and his father was PROBABLY John Gordon, according to the Noyes, Libby & Davis "Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire." -- Cheers, Jim Gordon, Laurel, MD USA [email protected] wrote: > > Dana, > Could you send me the GEDCOM, I'm from Boston and I was told some time ago > that I may have relatives up in NH. > > Tom
