Catriona, My name is Joann Gordon; I'm not related to your line, as far as I know, but I thought you might want to take a look at the House of Gordon Research site. It has several genealogies posted from those researching Gordons from "across the seas." You'll find the address listed in my signature. If you'd care to post anything to the site, just let me know. Take a look at the Genealogy Project link to see how we are trying to help Gordon and its septs researchers. -- Joann Gordon, House of Gordon, USA (Clan Gordon) Genealogist House of Gordon Research: <http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/5917/HOG.HTM> Gordon Genealogy Site: <http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/5917/GORDON2.HTM> Wright Tidbits: <http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/5917/Tidbits.htm> Perry County, AR Website: <http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/3729/index.htm> Surnames: Gordon, McDuffie, Wright, Little, McDonald, McConnell, Rucker Catriona Kelly wrote: > Hi all. > > I have found two points of information recently that say I have GORDON > relatives, so have joined the list in case anyone can help or I can help > someone else. > > 1) On the IGI site I found the birth of my 3g grandfather, James MARSHALL > son of Robert and Mary MARSHALL (nee GORDON).
