Hi List, My great grandparents were William & Kate Nicholson. Children I have found so far are John b 1855, Duncan b 1860, Kate b 1866, Sarah b 1867, Donald b 1872, & Neil b 1875. The family immigrated first to Canada in the early 1860's and then onto the Houghton area to work in the copper mines around 1865. They came from the Isle of Skye in Scotland. I know that there was family in Manitoba, Canada who worked in the lumber industry, but my branch of the family remained in Michigan. I am hoping there is someone who might have some details about this family. One thing I am trying to find out is if Kate's maiden name was Robertson, to make sure I am on the right track of the family in Scotland. I would love to hear any other bits of family history or advice that anyone might have. Thanks, Sheila
