Hello to all interested in this topic.  To save me from retyping info, can everyone look at my post recently 'John ALLARDYCE Provost of Aberdeen 1700' in particular look at the two website links with the big family trees on there.  A lot of the families were from Rosehearty, Pitsligo, Aberdeen, etc, and I'm sure I've seen some of your Aberdeenshire surnames mentioned in there.

I hope those websites make someone's little genealogical heart flutter.

N.B. Dell aka Fluffnco - Provost ALLARDYCE's descendants connect with the Chalmers of Balnacraig.  Ever heard of them?

Hi I have a website, http//homepage.eircom.net/~decfam, which I researched many chalmers from Alvah, Marnoch and Rothiemay parishes among others. the names you mention are related to me. I think some of your info actually originally came from my site.
researching following names: chalmers,cheyne,hay,tocher,mundie,willox,barclay,esslemont,and others in Scotland also mullaney,barrett,spillane,lynch and others in Ireland and beckler in Germany

Lesleyj--
I know that the name is common and a longshot for a connection but, you never know. I am researching the Gordon side of my family and have found an unbroken line back to Thomas R. Gordon b. circa 1735 Aberdeen Scotland. He married and had 3 children in Scotland, then moved his family to Northern Ireland sometime between 1765-1770. There is some oral tradition that says he may have returned to Scotland before his death but we are unsure. if you'd like to respond, please use the personal message since it's easier for me to monitor. Best regards,
Charles Gordon
