Hi Carole

There's a great site for Port gordon/Enzie/Rathven for your Geddes line.

Try this link   http://rgu-sim.rgu.ac.uk/history/family_history.htm

Just don't get lost in it. ther's so much detail it's possible to get carried away and forget to come out for dinner, or breakfast or lunch next day !! 

I'm from the Hendry (Beamer) line myself.

 Hi Meelymunch,
 
          I see from the surname interest list that you have Goodbrands somewhere on your tree, so have I. My GGrandmother ,BATHIA GOODBRAND b 29th Aug 1861, Fordyce, mother JANE GOODBRAND, FATHER ? Bathia married John Slater 1880 in Port Soy. They had 3 daughters (maybe more).John must have died because in 1895 Bathia married a Joseph Robertson in Rutherglen.

 Any connection?

Hi, My gggg grandparents were William McHattie and Elspet Smith (birth c1778)
They had a daughter (i don't know of any other children) Helen McHattie born c1799
She married John Grant in 1821.

That is my extent of my knowledge about the McHattie family so far.

Cheers, Carole
