Caspar (Fraulsson ?) Forbus born in 1590 Danzig in Germany and died 17.12.1682 in Oulu Finland, hasmany relatives here in Finland, I am one of them.
The best and easiest book to search for his descendants is perhaps "Genealogia Sursilliana", the book which is also thought to be a "Bible" in Finnish genealogy.
But, unfortunately, it has been sold out already many years ago and that information is not in the internet.
From internet (Mormon pages)I have get that information that his father was Hans !!!(not Fraul !!???) Georgesson Forbus who was born in Aberdeen 1566 and was died 1635.
Do you know is there a book of clan Forbes or some kind of tabells or other publications about this family in Scotland ???
