Contact author Notes on sources Anderson family tree Information is largely taken from the book 'The
Andersons of Peterhead'. This was based on the records made by John Anderson

by Cecil Ford Anderson [X 17] and Agnes Donald Ferguson [CS 45 X b]. Many photographs
were taken and compiled in an album by Olive Edis (daughter of Mary
Murray, daughter of Andrew Murray
(2) of Aberdeen). Corrections to both Janet Innes Anderson's and
