Cabrach

[jobarnesmum]

thanks for the info on this years service ..

It was a beautiful day for the annual church service, about a hundred people turned up from far and wide, with a buffet at the Grouse Inn afterwards and lots of stories about old Cabrach characters.
My Cabrach Genealogy site at http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/stuartpetrie has just had a revamp - the notes and sources are much easier to read now and there are lots of new entries. I went to the registrars and got them to print off hundreds of birth, marriage and death certificates, apparently I created some sort of record.

Stuart,
I'm glad it was a lovely day.......I am still hoping one day to see that part of the world where my grandmother's family came from.  Thank you.

[Harrys Mum]

Stuart.....I've just got back to have a look at the work you've done.  It is brilliant.

My grandmother was Doris Grant, daughter of John Charles Grant.  They were born in Australia.   John Charles Grant's parents were Peter Grant and Jean/Jane Gordon.  Jean/Jane was born in Alldovalloch.  Her parents were Paul Gordon and Anna Kellas.

It is great to be able to put a little flesh on the bones of the family history.

Thank you.

Hi Stuart,

I'm a decendant from James Gordon, who was one of 3 sons that immigrated to New Zealand in the early 1900's. My grandmother spent 20 years studying her ancestry so I have been given a book she wrote on the hisory of each family member and what they did with their lives. The family originally lived at the Auchmair farm in Cabrach and the book includes a bit of history about the town of Cabrach as well. Let me know if you would lke me to send you any info, I am happy to send you the details, otherwise all family members are loaded in the Later Day Saint www.newfamilysearch.com website which goes back 300 years.

Good to know there is still family in Cabrach.

Hi Melissa,
My family was originally from Auchmair as well.  They are Grant, Gordon and Kellas.
Your book sounds great.

Hi Libby

What country are you in now? I have been trying to trace the living decendants and have the family tree of the Kellas, Grant and Gordon families you are talking about, are you related to Jean Gordon birth 12/02/1808 who married Peter Grant, just curious if this is from your mums side or your dads side. My great grandfather was James Gordon who immigrated to New Zealand in 1912 with his 2 brothers while the rest of the family stayed in Auchmair Cabrach.

Hi Melissa,

Yes......my gg grandparents were Jean/Jane Gordon and Peter Grant.  They came to Australia in 1839.  I'm still here...

It is my father's side.  His mother was Doris Moselle Grant, daughter of John Charles Grant.  John Charles was the son of Peter and Jean (Gordon).

I can't work out how to private message you as I wanted to send my email address. 

Regards,
Libby.
