Hi detorri28
thank you very much for the information, I do not have any details of Charles Buchan
as it is Helen Reid's side of the family I am researching.
I am new to roots chat and I did not think I would get a reply so quickly.
If I knew how to work the smiley faces I would have had plenty on my
reply I am so delighted with your research thanks again

Your most welcome, pleased we could help.
Good luck with the rest of your research ;)

I am new to rootschat and found this page throug a google-search on Robert Bruce Buchan and Helen Reid. :)
I am a direct relative to the couple (great grandchild) and have info about their children and so on.
But I was searching for some info the other way. Robert Bruce Buchans parants and the gererations above them. Any ideas where I should look?

Hi John777:
Welcome to RootsChat! :)
Since Buchaner posted information about the couple prior to their arrival in California, Buchaner may have information about them before they left Scotland.
If you post two more times, you will be able to send a private message to Buchaner.

Great!
Robert and Helens son Hector, was my grandfather on my mothers side. I grew up with stories about his siblings and their life after the left Scotland and moved to USA.
I know my mother has a lot of info about the siblings. I will contact her and post more info when I get it.
..and now I have posted enough here to be able to write, and answer, private messages :)

Do you have more info on the ancestry of the Buchan line before Peter Buchan, married to Christian Bruce, or do you know were I can find some help?

Hi Alan I havn't been researching this line for quite a long time My connection is through Helen Reid
and Robert Bruce Buchan Helen was my fathers sister if you would like a fuller history of your
GGG Grandparents our local family history society at www.buchanroots.co.uk have done quite a lot
of research into them .Most of the Buchans in this area have bye names to differentiate one Buchan
from another .your line is the (doodies) During our local Scottish Week your ancesters were featured
on one of the displays, so if you live locally it can still be seen at Peterhead if you contact the family
history society
regards
John
