Hello Katey,
Thank you for posting on this thread. Finding your roots is great fun. I have been researching my family for 6 years now, mostly in Canada. Some of my ancestors did move to the USA,in the late 1800's and early 1900's, but I don't know where they settled.
I have also been researching the "Forbister surname", trying to find out if we are all connected. No luck there as yet.
If you check out the Ellis Island database you will find some "Forbister's" that arrived from England. My family orginates from the Orkney Islands of Scotland.
Also there are many "Forbister" across the USA today.
I would be happy to help you in any way I can, in finding out who your ancestors are,where they came from, and to whom they are related. If you wish to contact me direcrly my email address is as follows; dscot82@msn.com
I amm looking forward to hearing from you.
Take care
Derek
