As for me helping you, I'm not sure I can. As you may know the name Anderson is a very common name. The names you have given me do not match up with what I already know. I say that because there are several branches I don't know about. I think what I also need from you are some locations. As mentioned by the other posting member, did your family come from Scotland, if so what town or parrish? The web site mentioned www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk is a great place to find documents, but you do have to pay for them. My line briefly was in Edinburgh, but really came from Rothes up in Morayshire. If you could tell me a little more to go by i might be able to help you more, or be able to given you a definate answer. Who knows maybe we might be related but the names you gave me so far don't match up. I do have many Jane's, Ann's, John's, and Isabella's in my line and in some of the branches I do know of. Goodluck Charles Anderson Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
