I'm searching for my birth Mother:

Joan Logan.
Born: 14th Jan 1961.
Brown eyes.
Roughly 5ft in height.

From what I have been told Joan has red hair and was raised in the Partick area of Glasgow, Scotland with her 4 sisters and 4 brothers. She was married to someone called Bobby (name may be wrong) but, later divorced.

Joan also had a son called Mark Logan who was placed up for adoption too. I would like to find Mark also, he will be roughly 23 years old, maybe a little older or younger. I'm sure that Joan later gave birth to a daughter but, I'm unsure of her name.

I was adopted by the McGowan family of Darnley Glasgow but, I now live in the U.S.A.

My date of birth is: 17-09-1981.
My name before being adopted was Josephine Amanda Logan.

I went back to get my son out of school after a few weeks and the social services came and took him out of my house saying i had no rights to him away back then .
I went back to social sevices 5years agao to try and find out where they put my son ,well aparently john was adopted out on the 17TH OCTOBER 1984,they had him in care for 2yrs .
My sone was five when he left me and he was 7 when he was adopted so i imagine his first name is the same ??? i dont know ,also i was told that john went to a couple who were teachers so if any one knows of john or his where about could u please get in touch i would be most gratfull as my son is now 30yrs of age .

I am looking for any information on John Mackenzie b 1867-68
On 1891 census he lists his parents as John & Sarah Mackenzie (Stewart) both deceased. Gives his birth place as Granton Edinburghshire. I have been unable to find anything for him under these parents. He never spoke of his family to his children. I located his birth certificate & was thrown for a loop as his mother is given as Sarah Cairns.
Does this tie in with anyone out there.

Isabel Rose Middleton was born 1st August 1911 at 6 Castle Terrace, Aberdeen (District of St. Nicholas) and was adopted or fostered as a newborn. I am Isabel's niece and would very much like to connect with her family as we feel we are missing a part of our family. Isabel still has two half-sisters living. What a great reunion that would be!
