Editing RootsUnearthed:About

This website is dedicated to tracing and documenting the lives and details of the '''FORREST''' lines descended from [[William FORREST (c1690-c1760)|William FORREST of Overgrange]]. 

I started researching my '''FORREST''' line in 2007 and have met a few, but not many, fellow family historians who share the same '''FORREST''' ancestor. I have uncovered some interesting characters and have been aided greatly by the research and evidence provided to me by '''Robert Forrest''' of Seattle, USA.

'''William FORREST''' of Grange, or Overgrange, in West Calder, Midlothian, Scotland born circa 1690 is the earliest we can trace the '''FORREST''' line back as there is little solid evidence to go further back.

As a result, I have decided to create this website to document all the '''FORREST''' ancestors of William, and enable long lost cousins to expand and update their lines.
