@ Northern Jo ~  You have - REID (and associated families of HERON, KEITH, REIDFORD/REDFORD, MORRISON, WEBSTER, PIRIE, OGILVIE, DINGUAL, LAURENCE, GRANT, FRASER, and FORBES) originated in Banffshire, Scotland

REIDFORD is my Mum's ms.  John REIDFORD born c1595 & Janet FORBES c1600 are my 9 x great-grandparents.  I'd be keen to learn how you relate to these surnames?

I am the granddaughter of John Adolphus Laurens that you mentioned who was brother to Walter Randolph Laurens.  We always called him Randolph.  Been to Handois, Village of St.Lawrence, Jersey Island where the Laurens family lived before two sons came to Canada.
Am interested in any details of family history and any descendants.

 :)   Would you please contact me directly via my genealogy e-mail at jmpetersoncan@aim.com so that we can further discuss and share information. Since the family knows so little about this particular line in the tree, any and all information will be greatly appreciated.  I am very willing to share what little we know.

Thank you so very much.

Happy New Year!!!!
