In honor of our DNA sample that will arrive soon from a man born in Montrose, Scotland, I copied the following Border Crossing card of John Beatie from Montrose, Scotland, resident of Guelph, Ontario Canada. I traced John Beattie's lineage back to David Beattie who was born Oct. 19, 1783 in Laurencekirk, Kincardineshire, Scotland and died in 1868 in Montrose, Scotland. There are 53 David Beatties (soundex) born in Kincardineshire, Scotland from 1553 -1854. - Laurel Baty, L252 >From M1480 Manifests of Alien Arrivals at Buffalo, Lewiston, Niagara Falls & Rochester NY 1902 -1954, B300 Elizabeth - B354 Henry[Soundex index] 7-30-1915, Buffalo, NY Beatie, John Born: Montrose, Scotland, Age: 30; Occupation Carpenter, Const.
