Any good Gordon geneological books and resources
« on: Thursday 23 February 23 01:12 GMT (UK) »
Hi All,
I am trying to locate any resources I can to help in tracing my Ancestry in the Aberdeen area specifically related to a Jean Gordon, dau of William Gordon baptised at Cairnie by Huntly.

Usually I find there're a few old books on similar subjects where families have published their family trees around the 1800s and looking back quite far but I'm coming up blank with this search.

Cheers for any direction,

Corey

Try the National Library of Scotland https://digital.nls.uk/histories-of-scottish-families/archive/93506071

But please be aware that some books are just as unreliable as some online family trees. Never trust anything you find in a book unless it is backed up by a citation from a reputable source - and make sure to track down and check the source for yourself.



 
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
