Anderson Families: Of Westertown and the North East of Scotland, Their Descendants and Related Families With Armorial Bearings and Historical Notes on Contemporary Events

Several Anderson families appear to share the same origins in the north-east of Scotland. In a wide-ranging study that explores the roots of Andersons in Banff and Aberdeenshire, their pedigrees are traced, through branches in Perth, Fife, Edinburgh, England and Ireland, from the early 16th century through to the present descendants. Anderson relationships through marriage with a number of other families are explained. The Lindsay family, for example, with a pedigree from the 11th century, is mentioned as well as some 200 other related families.
