I am researching the Jones family tree and seeking any information regarding a Mary Gunn, born in Thurso in 1839. At some time she immigrated to New Zealand as she married an Andrew Jones in 1863 in Waikouaiti New Zealand. She died in 1921 in Waikouaiti. Any information would be greatly appreciated

As a Gunn clan member I am looking to find out more info on my ancestory. This site is great and has given me some more insight into our proud heritage and history.

I am researching my Robson history for my Sons. My eldest Son has always wondered if there is a Viking influence in our line. From looking at the Gunn histiry it seems he might be right! I am now trying to find any links to my father, Joseph Robson, who was born in Hartlepool, County Durahm in 1933. His father was James Edward Robson and his mother was Catherine Mary Robson(nee Oram). My father had 5 brothers (Victor, Albert, Alan, John and Charles) who all died in childhood. He had 3 sisters Janice, Beryl and Valerie (all still alive). I would like to trace the family as far back as I can but have not found any relatives from Hartlepool. My Grandfater James Edward had siblings Charles, John Henry and Albert. His parents were Charles Robson and Betsy Maria Robson (nee Holmes). My grandmother, Catherine Mary Robson (nee Oram) had a sister, Lillian.
Any help would be useful

As a Scot myself, I admire this website's dedication to clan Gunn and it would be so interesting to learn more about my roots (I have a Gunn relative but my family is mostly German).
Good site.

My father and brothers are just sure we affiliate with the Gunns as we are a sept name paternally and we have a last name James also in our lineage. I found a DNA test specifically for the gathering of Gunn peoples and we will settle it once and for all I hope. My dad is a drummer in a pipe and drum band and we will be headed to Scotland as a family to watch him compete in worlds next year. He wears the Gunn crest and we all want to wear a tartan as a family. I would like to stay in touch with other Gunns and affiliates.
Any preferences on which Gunn Tartan you all wear?
Thanks and best to all.

My wife was a Robbins, a descendant of Daniel Robinson, c1627-c1714, who was captured at the battle of Worcester in 1651 and sold into servitude in America. An old Bible record identifies Daniel's father as Richard - presumably born about or before 1600. Other Robinson captives sold in America were James, Alester, John (2 of that name), and Charles Robinson. This list of prisoners recorded in Massachusetts also includes a Danniell Gunn as well as some Jamesons and Wilsons. We would really like to learn more about Richard and Daniel Robinson (of any spelling).

Hello: My Wife was a Wilson. Her Great Grandmother was a Sandilands. That makes my wife a very Great Granddaughter of Robert the Bruce. Princess Jean Stewart the daughter of King Robert the Second married Sir James Sandilands. His Grandmother was the widow of The Bruce's brother and the sister of the Good Douglas (the Black Knight). The Sandilands still live in Mid-Calder at Calder House. It was the property of the Knights of Saint John, and was retained by Sir James the last Grand Master of the Order. John Knox was a friend of the family and held his first Protestant Communion at the family Kirk. William Wallace's only surviving signature is on a letter written on the family estate.
Tanya's Grandfather Henry Wilson told her she was Scottish, but he never made the Sandilands connection as he followed the Wilson Line. We wish he could have know his royal linage.
Tanya is a collector of Scottish Highland Pistols, so I guess she still feels like a Gunn. Either Peace or War.

Sorry, forgot to mention that my husband's name is Sean, and that our last name comes from his step-father who legally adopted Sean and his sister when he married Sean's mother.

Greetings all! My husband is descended from Clan Gunn, and not even all that distantly; his maternal grandmother's maiden name was Gunn (her first name is Della, she was born in Missouri, and married Walter Shelstad, Sr.), and her father was James Gunn. That's as far back as I know, I have to make time to see if Grandma can give me any other names.

Yes, I have a book that my cousin did on our family history and my maiden name use to be Robinson and the it's a book on the Gunn Clan. I'd really like to know if it's correct and where it started from. He went on line to look things up of our family history and etc., but he wasn't for sure if it was correct. But it does have my maiden name in there. For I'd like to know this, so, way I can pass it on to my children and grandchildren. This way they'd know about their family history and where it all got started. My father said we were half Irish, Scottish, & etc. In other words a mixture of no telling what. But I would like to know if there's any more relatives out there on my father's side. Many thanks.

I found out recently that on my moms side, I am part Welsh, Part Irish, part Norwegian, and (more to the point) Scottish. I have a very detailed family History and i did some digging. I found out that My Scottish Clan was Gunn,so i did some MORE digging and learned all about my Clann, which also explains my Norwegian. My Very first ancestor to arraive in America had the Surname "Henderson" in 1607. which as it turns out is a sub clan of Gunn. I ive always been interested in my Family History and if anyone else here can tell me anything else about Gunn, i would appriciate it.

My fathers name was William Henry Wilson, he was born in Lamont, Alberta, Canada June 16, 1928 and passed away October 20, 2004. My Dad's Grandmother came over from Europe to New York when my Grandfather was a small boy, it was then they changed their name to Wilson. When my Grandfather grew up he married Ruth and moved to Lamont, Alberta where my father was born. In approx 1933 my fathers parents moved to Washington State and then made their final move to Peachland, British Columbia.

Just found this great site when I was surfing the web. My father's family is from Clan Gunn and have made it a tradtion that all of the males in our family get the crest tattooed on their arm. My sister and I are considering extending the tradition and getting smaller crest elsewhere to symbolize our family roots. Glad I could find this site and possibably connect with some distant family

I'm related to the family Rafidison from Madagascar. It seemed that the great-grandfather of my partner and thus great-great-grandfather of my children was a Wilson from Schotland, travelling with his cousin Robertson in Madagascar. Both had children in Madagascar. My partners cousins are named Robertson.
Can someone enlighten us over the possibility of Scottisch ancestors?
We (family Rafidison & Van de Vliet) live in Deurne by Antwerp in Belgium.
Many thanks in advance,
