Sheila, I am researching my 3x greatgrandfather, Charles STUART, born in 1806 in "Sutherlandshire," according to his obit. He died in 1878 in New Brunswick, Canada, arriving there as a young boy of 10 to live with his uncle, John STUART. John STUART was born in 1783 in "Morayshire," according to land grant applications filed in Chatham, New Brunswick, and lived with an unmarried sister, May or Mary. I have no record of who Charles' parents were, what parish they belonged to in Scotland. At one point I was told that there were not many Stuarts in Sutherlandshire. I have been unable to find the ship which might have carried either STUART to NB or any further information on their family. Can you make any connections perhaps?

It is wise to join a couple of societies. I am a member of Lothians (used to be Midlothian but now takes in East and West Lothian) and Fife which is an excellent branch. I am also into a few of the Rootsweb lists. My STEWARTS and MacDONALDs were from Banffshire, Morayshire and Sutherland. Some filtered south to Edinburgh which was my home town many moons ago!
