James Scott Community
| 
| 
My interest in the family tree is about a much larger network of people that stems from the forbes siblings, the children of Alexander Forbes and Jane Thomas and The Scott Family. I would like to create a Forbes and Sco
tt community where all the descendants of Alexander Forbes and James Scott can come together to share information, photographs and events of this amazing family. The search for family members has got me communicating with people in Scotland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the USA and it has given family members an opportunity to reunite and communicate with each other. Please send this web site to any one that you know, that are descendants of the Forbes and Scott siblings as well as the other connections to my grandparents on my dad's and my mom's family.

Shikry Sassin, my great grandfather on my mother's side, was born in 1868 in Zahle, Mount Lebanon, which was in Syria at that time. He first travelled to Australia for 3 years before settling in the Cape. He owned the Clifton Beach Hotel in the early 1900's before moving up to Vryburg, Tweespruit and Koffiefontein. He eventually moved to Durban where he celebrated his 80th birthday. |
