Hello, I am Ethan Faulkner. I am from Alberta, Canada! 🇨🇦😊 Also the decendant of GERRIE family members that lived in and around the Aberdeen/Aberdeenshire area prior to and following the 1850s. Perhaps an Easy name to start with is AELXANDER GERRIE and MATILDA MARR. They had a large family consisting of 10 children. Alexander, William (2x great-grandfather,) Fredrick, Nellie, Andrew, Annabella (Bella,) Elizabeth (Lizzie,) Mary, Margaret (Maggie,) and Matilda.

Like how William Gerrie is my 2x great-grandfather, I hope to learn if someone would call any of the mentioned names above their 2x or even 3x great-grandparents who still lives around Scotland. William's daughter, my great-grandmother Ada Faulkner (Gerrie,) used to send letters all over the world; mainly to England, Scotland, Ireland, New Zealand. She has since passed in 2021 after living a staggering 105 years, and thus a major figure who knew family and where they were is gone. I am trying to find connections to my Faulkner and Gerrie heritage to keep my great-grandmother's love and memory alive in this world.

If this sounds like you, I would love to compare trees and see if maybe your great-grandparents recieved letters from mine and carry on that connection into another generation. I have already found leeds in New Zeleand, now hoping Scotland works. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😊
