Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 10,667 Send Message	Welcome to the boards Andrew. Can you be a little bit more specific please - you know who and when you mean. Please let us know what you already know and what you are hoping to find out. Is this Portsoy on the Aberdeenshire coast? Originally in Banffshire until much more recently.

	I was just going to say what greyghost has. There's a lot of Farquhars in Portsoy, some of whom emigrated to America. Give us some names of who you are looking for.
	Researching: Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)
