Hello again John, I've recently retired so now have time to do a bit of family research. My Dad was Charlie Ritchie, son of Valentine and Isabella Lownie. Our trees seem to join up at our GGGParents, David and Ann. Good to see email from "Paddy" Flannagan that I use to knock about with as a teenager along with Ian M Ritchie and Alex Ritchie fae Gourdon. I was a Johnner douper"! Cheers, Ian O. Ritchie

Fit like John (is it still Rover?) Congratulations on a first class site. I was back in Gurden the day, sadly, for a funeral, if truth is telt its been ower lang since I've been here. I was pointed to your site by Margaret Gowans Mother of Shona who also has signed your guest book I see. I was at school with your sister Ann and I see several names there that I have not seen for a very long time. Great site keep up the good work.
Regards
Des

Dear John, I enjoyed your website. Well done! I would be particularly interested to hear about yor memory of the term "deddie". Since I retired from teaching I have been researching the use Scots among schoool children but have also been tracking usage of the term"deddie" which surprisingly exists and is still current in two main locations - Gourdon and just south of the Broch, in Cairnbulg/Inverallochy and St Combs.! It was good to see the term used in connection with the "Deddie Jock" poem

Hi there, I am starting to trace my family history, perhaps you know my gran, Lizzie Gray, her mother was Mary Fotheringham from Bervie and she died in the late 30s. I didnt see her in your tree, but she must be a close branch?
I love the site, I too have many happy memories of Gourdon when I was little.

I have been waiting for years now for the Fotheringham family tree that you said you could provide me with. Maybe you do not read this site any more?
