Aberdeenshire / Re: Aberdeenshire families

Dear Paul and several others who have contributed,
I have almost completed the stage of the family tree that I set myself a few
months ago, and was deliberating as to what to do next when I came across this site and your request for clues. I saw a clutch of names that have appeared in the family tree, such as it is, that I have been compiling and found references to Robello, Meldrum,
Bain and Dow, whose names also appear in one half of my own effort. I have the names of people whom I stood a chance of meeting,
and one or two more, but they number 220.
I was unaware that the Robello contingent could have hailed from there, but the other names have their shoes well steeped in the mud of the area.
There is one name that links several of these, and that is John Davidson who married Janet Meldrum (I know not exactly where or when) but their eldest child, Annie was born in Boddam as I understand. She would have emerged into this world around 1880-3 and was the eldest of seven bearing such names as George, Alec, Richard, John, Margaret and Mary.
My youthful (tee hee) enthusiasm prompts me to suggest that the likelihood of a match is fairly high. I stand to be told to sit down again straight away.
I hope we might have something to exchange, and that the dim and distant past will emerge into the light
