Hi,
My mothers paternal family were Forbes'.  They stayed in Dundee from the 1840s but before that lived in Aberdeenshire. I have traced them back to 1176. if i can help let me know.

Good hunting, Forbes     :)

Hi Simmo,
Haven't been online for months but saw your post. My Grandfathers name was Forbes and latterly lived in Dundee but came from Aberdeenshire. If you have any queries just ask.
Regards,  Forbes   :)
