You have to remember there were so many Gordon-Gordens who came from Scotland, through Ireland that it is hard to locate without more specific inf. It's like a problem I have hit on with my mothers family, The Wehmeiers. There are so many Wehmeiers-Wehmeyer-Waymires in Germany that it is like Smith and Jones here. In all the years I have searched I have never found where he imgrated from Germany. I had found the same problem on the Gordon side until I found a cousin who had most of it done. Wow, was that a pleasure. -----Original Message----- From: Jim Gordon [mailto:jimgordon@netzero.net] Sent: Saturday, May 05, 2001 9:00 AM To: GORDON-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: Seeking Assistance from GORDON's Tom -- You might have better luck in getting answers if you were a little more specific in your time frame and location over here. The Irish have been emigrating to America since the 1600s. Your present query is equivalent to "I'm looking for John Smith in North Americas."
