Portobello Tower Edinburgh

The above Tower was in my family (Paton) and I would love to know more about it/them. I have just started tracing the Paton tree & am getting some very interesting results but am unsure of where to head to next

Hi Jane,

My Mum has copies of items about the Tower, she visited the Tower last year & this is what sparked her interest off and she managed to contact a new relative in Canada wh updated some of Hugh's information but as she doesn't have a computer it's up to me to try & delve inbetween family and work

Hi

As a new member - you have to make 3 posts before you can use the pm (private message) system

You have just qualified - 3 posts

Click on that link I gave above and then go to the little green scroll underneath the posters name and click on it

That will then give you a screen similar to an email in which you can make contact and see if there is a connection
