Hi Forfarian
Last night after I dug myself out from under a mountain of paperwork, I downloaded Family Historian. Have been spending the time since transferring blurb on all my bits of paper to my tree. It's amazing how much information I've gathered in such a short time.
Yes, having a computer program to load it all onto is a necessity. Thanks.
I'm now working my way up my Gerrie line and have discovered that the Gerrie's stemmed from Herrygerrie's, all from Aberdeenshire.
If anyone can help trace a FORBES HERRYGERRY (lots of different ways to spell it).
He was living in Tarves in 1816/1817. He had 2 children there (no Mother's name) William and Lewis. Then he moved to Fyvie in early 1820's. Married Mary Williamson and had more children in Fyvie.
I would like to try and trace his marriage and his parents. Well anything about him really.
unusual name, have found lots of Herygerries, but not FORBE'S.
I think this Family history research is like trying to do a giant jigsaw puzzle with lots of plain blue sky !!!
