I am trying to trace my 2x grt grandfather, Thomas M. Forsyth, born 1 Sept 1850 and emigrated to Pennsylvania Oct. 1869. Trying to learn who his parents were and any siblings he may have had. This had been a brickwall for years. Would greatly appreciate any help or guidance on where to go from here.
Regards,
Kevin Sperry

I am researching a relative who died in 1939 in the arab revolt. He was with the royal scots and I cannot find a roll of honour anywhere. I know where he is buried in Portsoy. Does anyone know where I might try. I have searched through the commonwealth graves database and there is no mention of him. His name was Gordon Gauld and he died in 1939 at the age of 19. Many thanks.

Anybody know Robert Baxter in Dundee in the 1881 Scotland Census? I'm trying to find out the maiden name of his wife, Jessie. He's my Great Grandfather. Kenneth or Robert Kenneth is the son, my Grandfather, who came to the States in 1930.

Looking for information on Fred Perryman who emigrated to Canada in 1930. He was accompanied by his mother, Agnes, a sister and another brother. I believe I met Fred during WW2 when he visited our home. I had no idea who this person wa but was told later that he was a cousin. He may have been a cousin to my father. Fred's father I believe was John Perryman and I believe he had emigrated in May 1926. I have not been able to verify any connection to my surname and the name Perryman. I would like to hear from a male Perryman descendant of either Fred or his younger brother.
