Written and edited by Alistair and Henrietta Tayler, this first edition, was published in 1937, and contains 578 pages.
This is a wonderfully detailed history of this Scottish family, concentrating
primarily upon the major and minor branches in Scotland, beginning with the
Lords Forbes, from the 1st through the 22nd holder of that title. Included as
well are the cadet branches, with extensive genealogies and family accounts. The
cadet branches of Corsindae & Monymusk, Corse & Craigievar, Granard,
Pitsliog, Boyndlie, Newe, Tolquhon, Waterton, Brux, Skellater, Inverernan, Echt,
and de Forbin & the Swedish Forbeses are treated in turn.
Of particular
value are the 30 family trees and the extremely detailed maps of the Forbes
country.
