The "GenConnect" service of RootsWeb has a growing number of forum-style boards where people can post queries and discuss genealogical issues. A new board has just been created for the GORDON surname. To get to it, you can go to http://www.rootsweb.com and click on "GenConnect" in the left sidebar, or to go directly there, http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/surnames/gor/Gordon Those of you with Gordon-related websites might also want to link to this URL. GenConnect is similar to GenForum, but without the advertising :-). It is also unique in the ability for you to be directly notified by an e-mail message if someone responds to your post. In other words, you don't have to keep checking back. Also, if you include your surnames in the appropriate box when making your query, it all ends up in the master Rootsweb database where it can be searched for, etc. Give it a try -- let's see if we can track down more of those elusive Gordon ancestors! -- Doug Gordon (board administrator)

To Judy, I tried the e-mail for Bens Books. It did not work.

Hello, I bought a copy of this book 2 years ago from Ben Reynolds. His e-mail address at that time was [email protected] E-mail me privately if that is no longer a valid address and I will give you the mailing address and phone number. At that time he had a few copies left. They were new books. I paid $18.00 which included shipping.

Hi Judy, I'm also researching the surname GORDON. Mine lived in Jacksonville, Fla. in 1880. All I know so far is Louisa Gordon (don't know husband's name or her maiden name) there was no husband listed (widowed) son's names are David and Edward. They were Roman Catholic and Edward married Eugenia Ferreira in the Church of the Immaculate Conception on June 23, 1880 in Jacksonville, Duval County, Fla. There is a slight chance Louisa's maiden name was PONS and her family lived in Fernandina Beach, Fla (as per the 1850 census). Age would be right as she was 19 in 1850 and 49 in 1880. Louisa's husband may have been named Edward (hunch) and may have been born in New York City. There was also an Edward Gordon that lived in Jacksonville, Fla.(about 30 miles from Fernandina) in 1850 as per the census. Any help would be greatly appreciated..........Eydie

Hello Hurston. I have just a few minutes, will get back to you next week. Ermine's book on the Gordons was published in 1961 in Austin, TX by the Steck Co. I understand they are out of business(so I was told). A cousin told me that she had contacted a company that sells genealogy books, sorry I don't remember the name ,and she was told that they could make a copy of the book for her for one hundred and forty-eight dollars!!!! That was at least ten or twelve years ago. I don't have any data on John and Ruth before 1734 and no info on Ruth's maiden name. Did you know that Ruth married Abraham Anderson after John died? He had a bunch of kids and I couldn't helo but wonder about your Uriah Anderson. Wonder if there is a connection. Must run, will write more later. God bless, Sheila

My file on Thomas Gordon and Mary Buffington can now be viewed at http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/m/c/c/Margaret-A-McCleskey I welcome all comments and corrections. Still looking for the parents of my g-g-grandfather, George Alexander Gordon, b. 1822 in Georgia. Believe that he is connected to family of Thomas Gordon and Mary Buffington. Margaret McCleskey, Arlington, TX

I haven't posted this in a while so will try again. I am looking for the connection to our George C. Gordon b. 1841 Ky. 1880 Wise Co. Texas Censes states that his parents were from Tenn. I know there are tons of Gordons in Tenn. I don't know where in Ky or Tenn to look for this family. I have tryed just about everything. George C. m. Mollie (Mary)Sailing 10/18/1874 don't know where, Mollie was from Mo. Children were: Lillie Orvie George James Newton Rumsey Mitilda John Morgan Homer George William If anyone has a George Gordon born about this time in Ky would love to hear from you. Thanks, LaNelda Gordon

Hi Chuck, You wouldn't know where in Scotland your Gordons came from would you? george william and Alexander are common names from that period, but those as the typical male names in my Gordon line as well. My gggg grandfather was William Gordon, born about 1767, I think in Aberdeenshire. His sons where William, George, James, Alexander and Charles (who is my ggg grandfather). The sons were all born in Pisligo Parish, Aberdeenshire, between 1795 and 1812.

Searching for information on John GORDON who came from Inverness, Scotland to Pennsylvania in the late 1700's or early 1800's. Married a New Yorker, Sarah Wright. Had the following family: Alexander, Isaac, John, Samuel, Robert (born about 1817), William, Martha, Margaret, Eleanor, Nancy and Rebecca. Some of the family migrated to York County, Ontario, Canada. If any of these names ring a bell, would love to hear from you. Blair Gordon

Hi Folks, It's been a while since I posted to the list, So I thought I'd post my Gordon line to see if it looks familiar to any one. If it does and you'd like to exchange information, please email me back. Note that this is a terse description of my Gordon line, I'll be more than happy to supply more detail and sources if anyone needs it. Thanks, Richard Gordon Bingham II James Gordon b. Va m. Nancy "?" b. Va Issac Lee Gordon b. 1860 Va d. 1939 Md m. Lucy Ellen Nield b. 1850 W Va. d. 1936 Md Ruth Margaret Gordon b. 1892 Md. 1986 Tn m.

I.m sorry. I wrote to you before I had read your message in its entirety. I know nothing on this line. [email protected]

If you would list some more on your Gordon family it would be helpful. I might be able to see if your ancestor fits into a Gordon line that I have. [email protected]

Sheila or Lois, I have a David Gordon, b. 1776, supposably in SC who migrated with his wife, Mary Reynolds b. 1776, to Bedford Co TN about 1804. Have either of you come across this name in your research of the SC Gordons. Mark McCall Albuquerque NM
