Robertsons of Forres & Findhorn

I remember a couple of summer holiday's in Forres in the early 1960s. The Robertsons have lived in Forres since the mid 18th century, in various locations, Market Street, Urquart Street, High Street and Findhorn. My grandfather owned a very successful painting and decorating business in Forres, William Robertson & Sons. His father, James, owned a joinery and engineering firm, Robertson Joinery and Engineering. I remember the museum in the high street - it had a selection of strange animals preserved in jars (such as chickens with two heads) - yuk! Currently working on building up our family history on Ancestry.com and doing quite well - got back to the mid 19th century so far - not bad as I now live in Sydney, Australia!!
