Hi Genealogy Forum Members

I am a new member from Australia. I am researching my Gunn, Nicolson and Swanson family history in Caithness, and would like to meet up with anybody who may be related to my ancestors.
My great X 2 grandparents were Alexander Gunn born 9/06/1811 in Stemster and Ann Nicolson chr 17/10/1817 in Bower. They were married in 1838 after which they emigrated to Australia. Their parents were John Gunn (b Bower 16/2/1786) and Margaret McKay (b 22/8/1785 at Halkirk) and Thomas Nicolson (b 17/3/1789 at Watten) and Anne Swanson (b 15/8/1783 at Weidale). Earlier Gunn families came from Bilbster and Haster, while the Nicolson family came from around Watten. I am also tracing the Keith family who came from around Watten.

Look forward to talking to you.

regards
