Hello Ray -   leave it with me for a couple of days so that I can look through the names peoperly.

Logie Mar and Logie Coldstone are not the same place,   and Logie and Coldstone would have been two separate communities in the early 1800s.    As far as I can remember Logie Mar would have been nearer Braemar than the Tarland area.

I'll give it some thought and check my records before I come back to you.

Hello Kiwi -   I think we have chatted before, but its been some years.

I think my husband's family are related to yours -  his ancestors come from the Migvie area.    We still live in Aberdeenshire about ten miles away from Migvie.

Is there anything I can do to help you?

Hello there -  its been some time since I used Rootschat so apologies if this goes awry.

My husband Harry Andereson's family lived at Broombank for several generations and George Anderson and Isabella Coutts were his great, great grandparents.    He has never actually been to Broombank but we have all heard many stories about it over the years and so its really interesting to see a picture -  there were huge families living there at times,  sometimes several generations -  it must have many stories in its stonework.   What sort of information are you looking for?

Seems to me that you are definitely related to Harry then,  George Anderson was his Great Grandfather

Hello Kiwiceltic - I think that my husband's family are the family you are looking for.  He was born in the Tarland area and several generations of his family were born and lived at Broombank, Tarland and this is in the same area as the Andersons you are looking for.  The Slack is an area on the outskirts of Tarland and there are quite a few properties in that area. The other area you mention is actually called Migvie and it is at the other side of Tarland,  beside Logie Coldstone,  although they all border each other around this small village.   

There are three distinct Anderson Families in the area,  however they are also connected through marriage so they can be quite complicated to seperate,  I'm still convinced that they are related to each other if we could just go that far back.

Would you like me to send you my database of Andersons?
