From Robert Langlands

Dear Patricia,
I received a document on the ancestors of Janet Gardiner Neave from James Brown and very grateful for it . I can now add it to my family tree in my program and see where it fits. My program is called "Reunion for Mac" and have over 800 names recorded. As you see I own an apple computer and find this program slightly better than the "Family Tree Maker" for the PC. However, I also run the program "Family Tree Maker 2005" on a PC which I half-own with my son.
I have shown below the Adamson Family History Report as taken from my program down to my grandmother, Helen Eaton Adamson, only.I will await to see what you you have and will send you additional names if you wish. You may correct some of these records if you find them wrong. I got most of them from the Angus Archives in Montrose.
By the way. I was born in Forfar in 1929, emigrated to Ontario, Canada in 1952 and moved to British Columbia in 1990 to a place called Winfield. I assume you live in Glasgow as James mentioned that he was from there.
Good luck with your research
Best regards,
Robert

Adamson Family

Hello Patricia.
I was in the process of sending you the following when your e-mails arrived. I haven't looked at them yet but this is a
full descendant report of David Adamson showing the Langlands Family and a lot more. I have sent it in this form as I
sent a file before for my mac and they could not open it at the other end. However I will ask my son ,an expert on
computers to see if there is a better way.
Thank you for the informative e-mails. Will get back to you on more information on my family, that is the
Watterstons and the Langlands, if you want them.
I haven't heard of the Master Genealogist Program but I found the website and will take a look at it.
FYI you are the 5th. person I have made contact with since I joined Genes Reunited last January.
Thanks again and happy researching.
Robert
