Dave:

Shame that there is not a connection.  Never mind, diversity is important.

To my knowledge there is only one Forrest descendant in my tree, other than me in Australia.  Neither of us has had a DNA test.

Good luck with you search

Hi Dave
I look forward to hearing from you.
Of interest - a 2nd cousin (also in the Forrest) was David Taylor, who was President of the Scottish FA and went on to leading roles with EUFA.

Dave:

Are you aware that Alexander Duncan's son, Alexander (b. 1908, Montrose) migrated to Australia around 1928.  He was a handy player at what we call soccer and you call football.  So handy, that he played for AUstralia on a handful of occasions in the 1930's - a time when Australia only played a handful of matches in any case.  He married Kathleen Jean STILLARD in 1943 and served in the Australian Army during WWII.  He died in 1979.  While I knew that he lived in Victoria for most of his life, I never recall meeting him or his wife.

Hi Sandra
Thanks for that - I knew that much.  What I am trying to do is find out what happened to hm after 1881.  In all he had 10 siblings.  I am related to Christina Crawford Forrest - his sister born two years before him in 1868
