My great grandfather William Urquhart Hay was born in New Deer November 11, 1852. His mother was Catherine Urquhart Hay and his father was John. William had the following sisters, Jessie Hay, Catherine Hay, Jean Hay. I am looking for descendants of the family and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,

Helloooooo and Blessings to Paul, Joy, your families, and to you - their new parish family at St. Kane's...... from your friends at Christ the King Catholic Church Office Staff in Tampa, Florida - most especially from me. I had the honor and pleasure of working as Pastor Paul's Administrative Assistant as he worked all over the world through Medical Benevolece Foundation some years ago. He opened a miriad of ministries to my eyes - hospital, stewardship, prayer groups, and especially taught me that "How May I Help YOU" is a most wonderful and essential part of the spiritual journey we all share. Many hundreds if not thousands of people benefitted from the Holy Spirit working through him then, and I'm thrilled to see his good work continues. For certain, Pastor Paul and his lovely bride Joy, will serve YOU well as good and faithful servants and leaders of your faith community. Their faith-filled ministry is so splendidly contagious! Experience, Enjoy and Embrace God's Gifts and Promises - always! Cheryl Stanley, Admin. Assist. to the Pastor and Clergy of the parish of Christ the King (3,500+ families and growing!) Be sure to come say Helloooooo if you're ever in Tampa!

St Kane's is very lucky to have Paul Read as their minister. Although I live across the Atlantic,in the United States, I have had the great pleasure of meeting Paul and attending his services. He blessed my daughter's marriage in 2007 and on March 3rd 2010 performed a beautiful service at my Mother's funeral. Both of these services were conducted at Strathy Church of Scotland.
Paul,I will miss seeing you when I visit Scotland but will stay in touch via e-mail. Love to both you and Joy.

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
