BRISBIN, BRISBON, BRISBANE
 by MeVal48 on 2007-01-10 08:28:47 Add MeVal48 as a friend MeVal48's...  Profile Research Contact | I've done some extensive research into my mother's family of Brisbin. Am always looking for those interested in our line. Rumor has it, we are all related. We hail from Scotland but going back far enough, it's said we originally went out of France to Scotland. A lot of my ancestors lived for generations in Canada. After coming to the the USA, settled in NY, PA, MI, IA, CO and CA.

I'm related to Sir Thomas in a round-about way. As I understand, he had no children of his own but he was a brother to one of my greats. I wrote a Brisbin book a few years back that takes our tree into the very early 1400s with names and details. Going back further to mid 1100s to King David 1 of Scotland for bits and pieces. It made it so much easier that this family is so well researched and I doubt there isn't anything out there that I haven't ran into. If it's ever completed, I'm going to be bored out of my mind.
Hey there Val, Welcome to FamilyTreeCircles. Here's a couple of Brisbane links for you, from sunny Queensland, Australia... being a Brissie born and bred girl myself:-
