Hi Catherine There are many Johnstons in Banff. "Mine" commence with James, one time farmer in Castle of Auchery, which I've just discovered from this wondeful list is a farm!, about 1730 through Williamses and Jameses who were turners/wheelwrights/cabinet makers to William Frazer J. born1842 who went off to make his fortune in the Middle East, "Turkish Arabia" as it was called in thoe days. My grandmother was born in Baghdad! Any connection? They all had large families. Regards, Mary. > > > > > > > > > >> >> >> >> >> >> > > > > > > > >
