Would be grateful for any information regarding the birth of Leon ADAM in about 1900 +/- 5 years.
Parents came from Scotland but info very scarce.
Thanks

Do you know if Leon Adam had any other first names apart from Leon

Clive

No sorry - not that I know of

Please check the lists of Adam births at.

If any births are of interest I have the names of the parents and place of birth.

Hope this helps.

Did your Leon marry in Seychelles. If so and if you know who he married I could look for a record of the marriage.

Clive

many thanks for those details. I will have to do a bit more research and ask some more questions.....then i will get back to you if that is ok.
Thanks again

That all be fine. I have noted from my research here in Seychelles that in the past it was quite common for a person to be called by the last of their first names. but of course not the case all the time.

Clive

I have confirmed that the family i am researching is that of Marie Jean-Baptiste Leon Joseph ADAM - the son of Jean-Baptiste Adam and Cecile Arnulphy.
Leon was not married in the Seychelles as he ran away to sea at age 14yrs and ended up in New Zealand but his parents may have been.
Leon had brothers and a sister - can you easily tell from your records other siblings with same parents? I hate to ask as you have been so kind and I don't want to presume on your good nature!!
I did try to look myself but as i know no other first names it seemed impossible.
However any further info would obviously be very welcome.
Thanks again for your help in getting me this far.

Pleased to help. I will have to do some research which will take a short while.
