Dear Robert I am intrigued with your posting to the Hamilton website. I am looking for a Dr. James Hamilton, born 13 Sept. 1797 in Douglas Lanarkshireaccording to his tombstone in Dundas Ontario. I have seen a listing for a birth in East Kilbride LKS for a James son of John, Sept 1797 but so far have not been able to find proof that this is my great great grandfather. Does any of this ring a bell with your research? I have been in touch with the Lanarkshire Family History Society and am awaiting results of some research that they are trying to do for me.

joan, you are way ahead of me--check the hamiiton genealogical society or the free LDS site. I know that there were a lot of Hamitons in Canada. Duke Hamilton paid for their passage money.
