I want to thank all of you who responded to my request. I appreciate your transcriptions and advice. I am aware of J.V. Duncanson's books and that he was a descendant of James Duncanson for whom I requested the look up. I was really in hopes it would list the ship's name that he arrived in and maybe where in Scotland he was from...... we have a "possibly Aberdeeen" and a ca 1773 for the year of arrival??? For you Nova Scotia history buffs..... were there Scottish troops that came in around then or is it more likely he came as a result of the Scottish clearances??? Again... thanks to all of you. You've been extremely helpful. Paulette
