Hello Everyone, I am new to genealogy so I apologize if this message is too wordy. I am looking for any infomation about my great grandfather William Hamilton and his family. He was born during 1848 in Kilbirnie, Ayrshire, Scotland. On 01 Mar 1872, he married Sarah Peters (born 07 Feb 1849) Symington Parish, Ayrshire, Scotland). I know that William and Sarah had 17 children, according to my grandfather, John Hamilton ( a son), who was born during June 1886. Grandpa had told my mom about 16 other sibling but he didn't mention any names besides, David, Christina, and Jeanie or Jean. Other children were: James Peter Hamilton b. 05 Oct 1872 Patna, Straiton Parish, Ayrshire, Scotland William Hamilton b. 28 Jan 1874 Patna, Straiton Parish, Ayrshire, Scotland Margaret Hamilton b. 1875 Patna, Straiton Parish, Ayrshire, Scotland David Hamilton b. 1877 Patna, Straiton Parish, Ayrshire, Scotland Christina Hamilton b. 1879 Patna, Straiton Parish, Ayrshire, Scotland Jean or Jeanie Hamilton John Hamilton b. 1886 I do know David, Christina and Jeanie came to the US via Canada and they sponsored my Grandpa. My grandfather died when I was 14 so I was not able to gain any information as to when he immigrated to the US via Canada. I will be searching for these clues also but I would appreciate any information that anyone would have and I will be happy to share any information that I have already or will find in the future. Thanks for your help. Nancy (Hamilton) Decker
