Hi all,

I am recently new to genealogy and am trying to locate Mavor relatives from the Kincardineshire area of Scotland: specifically Banchory Devenick. I have got stumped c1770 and can't locate any links to go back further. Also have missing branches from the 1850s who I believe may have emigrated to the US or Canada.

Related names are Hull, Reid, Massie, Leiper, Duncan, Daun & Clark that I am aware of.

Does anyone have any links to the Mavor's of the area?

Kind regards
Lisa

Lisa I have had a sudden idea. It may help if you comtact the Aberdeen and North East Scotland Family History Society. 158-164 King Street Aberdeen AB24 5BD. They have a great many records and have helped a friend to find Mavor relatives.
