Greetings from Melbourne in Australia, where I attend St. Stephen’s Anglican Church in North Balwyn.
I am a Christian songwriter and anyone is welcome to use the songs on my website at www.andrewpricesongs.com. All the audio files, words, guitar chords and sheet music are available for free.
I hope the songs will help people in their worship of God and encourage them in their Christian faith.

Greetings from Australia. I have just visited your pages in an effort to find out more about New Deer as I have traced my ancestry back to Aberdeenshire and to your village (1770s). I live on acerage in rural Queensland and would like to extend an invitation to any New Deeries visiting Australia. My back yard can offer goannas and a visiting family of kangaroos. It is dry now but when it rains it is lovely - good views, comfortable brick house. I am not a Christian myself but my close friend is curate at the local Anglican church. (Childers) Woodgate beach is about 35m drive. I am a contract teacher at the local high school. This is a private home, not a B&B. Just extending an Aussie welcome. Regards. meredith.murray@virginbroadband.com.au

I just want to put a note of thanks on your Guest Book - in July I placed my message for the Robertson Family of Aberdeen,I was looking for a lady called Marilyn from the USA who I believed visited the Church back in 2003.
I am VERY PLEASED to have found Marilyn! it is absolutely amazing how after all this time & thanks to reading your Guest Book, Marilyn contacted me from Toronto, Canada. We are indeed Cousins and have for the last 4 weeks been making amazing family discoveries and are delighted to have found each other after lifetimes of not knowing about each other!
If anyone has any knowledge of the Robertson / Stuart connections - Elsie Stuart is buried with her family at New Deer Church along with her husband John Nairn Robertson, I would be very pleased to hear.
My email contact details are: sheilamck2001@yahoo.co.uk

my mother and i are looking at the st kane's church website this morning,
as her mother, marjorie robb married in the church in 1919 before living
in holyhead north wales with her newly wed welsh husband. there were 12
children in the family and george and elspeth robb had a small tailor business,
they lived for some time in kirkbrae terrace.
her sisters names included bella finnie, maggie and nellie (both went to canada),
do any of you reading this post remember this family?
are there any relatives, say cousins reading this?
we would love to know.
i would think some of majorie's siblings were buried in the churchyard.
God bless

My maternal great grandparents were Hugh Robertson & Margaret Robertson (nee Stevenson) who originally came from Banff & later moved to High Street,Old Aberdeen around 1881. I believe a lady called Marilyn from the USA, visited New Deer Church in 2003, in order to honour her late fathers wishes of interment of his cremains with his parents (John Stevenson Robertson) & his maternal grandparents who I believe were James Stuart & Elsie Stuart Robertson who came from Maud.I share the same family & I am trying to locate Marilyn in the USA does anyone at the Church have her contact details? can anyone assist me with my Robertson links in Banff & local area. My Mother was Constance Robertson Mason - grand-daughter of Hugh & Margaret Robertson. Thank you for taking the time to read this & any help you can give me.

Hello to all at St Kane's from California!
I am a singer/songwriter (folk style) from California. I will be part of the Ugie Folk Club Music Weekend July 24-26.
Last time I was there, I attended a service (lovely music and message). I am also a church worship leader (contemporary Christian music style).
I was told by the organist next time I came you might be interested in having me do a concert/worship session on a Sunday evening. I've done this many times in conjunction with concert tours, and it's proven quite successful. I typically do a mix of contemporary Christian music, some hymns in a folk style, and some of my own secular (but appropriate) songs, trying to be entertaining and engaging.
Please let me know if you're interested. You may contact me at: skritzer@sbcglobal.net and listen to some music samples at:
www.myspace.com/stevekritzer
I look forward to hearing from someone there, and hope we can work something out that will be a blessing to us all!
Many thanks, and God Bless,
Steve Kritzer

Just been to St Kanes Gathering today. It was wonderful. When we arrived there was a banner on the cafe informing us of a 50th birthday showing us that they are a close church family and indeed every one is special.
Inside the instrumemts for the Praise Band had been set up and a power point presentation of Children at Kids Zone and Sunday Club was being played... what a happy and lively bunch they are.
During the service they took part and told us what they had been learning at Kids Zone and Sunday Club over the last year before being presented with their prizes.
After the service we all went over to the centre for a soup lunch and birthday cake.
Over all it was a great experience and a very welcoming one, and one I would certainly recommend if you haven't been to St Kanes before.

Hi All
St Kanes was the family Church in the days of yore. It does my heart proud to see it has survived and grown. It has been 49 years since I worshipped there. It is nice to have a web site I can return to now and again to revive the heart of a Buchan Lass
