Stevensons of Cullen / Keith / Rathven

[muckypup]

Trying to trace the Stevenson family from  Cullen / Keith / Rathven the majority of the males were masons to trade.

I have traced the line from me back to them in 1710 and forward to the Cox family in Provo Utah USA.....

Now to fill in all the blank spaces for the rest of the family.

If anyone else is tracing Stevenson please get in touch   

TIA.... Rob

Hi Rob

Although I am not looking for Stevensons there is a site which might add to you research.
It covers Port Gordon, Rathven and Enzie and has a mass of genealogical information on all the families from the Enzie parish area.
  rgu-sim.rgu.ac.uk/history/family_history.htm

I was able to find three generations of my Hendry family, including my grandfathers marriage into the lines there.
The whole site is fascinating so don't get sidetracked and lost in it.

Have fun

Many thanks Rob.

This all connects into the Forbes line which is my mother's family. They were all stonemasons from Cullen.

If I find out anything more on Alexander Stevenson and Helen Andrew I'll let you know.

Hi Rob,

Just found your post by chance. Helen Stevenson is my 4x great grandmother on my mum's side. I've traced Stevensons back to 1718 through Helen.
