Adam Gordon & family(c1780) - Brick Wall
« on: Tuesday 20 August 13 20:38 BST (UK) »
I am at the end of my family brick wall and wondered if anyone in Scotland
 are searching this family
Adam Gordon and his wife Margaret (sorry no more on this couple )
They had two sons that I know of
James Gordon born 1778 Helmsdale and
Robert Gordon born 1782 also Helmsdale

If you have this family in your tree could you help me out

At the end of your brick wall sounds as if you've solved the puzzle, but your post indicates otherwise?  ??? ??? ???

Just like Dawn, I read the title to mean that your brick wall has been demolished?

If that is not the case, maybe you should start a new thread with a more suitable title?
Like with a name in the title - as per RootsChat guidelines?

As it is I really have no idea if you are asking a question or not :-\

Thank you for re-editing for me
I only thought as said before
By posting about me being as far as I can go with my family of Gordon's that
someone else up there in Scotland might be searching the same family too and could give me some help
Once more sorry to mislead all of you

Thank you Ghostwhisperer I have sent you a PM

Thank you Ghostwhispers
That was just great
I have now found a little more from Scotlandpeople

Adam Gordon Jun was born 25.3.1832 so Helmsdale so may well be my Adam
Gordon and Adam have come down the family to my late brother Gordon and still alive my nephew
not sadly but he has 5 daughters so the Gordon name has stopped .
My uncle was Gordon Adam but always was known as uncle Gordon .

Thank you for your help
I do know I have one living relative on my McKenzie side living in Helmsdale but she doesn't seem interested sad isn't it ,as I have posted documents and photos to her via Timespan in Helmsdale
I would love to meet her for a chat or contact her although I do know she is not on the internet

I'm interested in any of my Helmsdale relatives if any are around
