> Now, a question for you: Do you know of any BAIKIEs in your area. I'm > trying to solve the mystery of 3 brothers, Daniel, Thomas, and William > Baikie, who perished together shortly after immigrating with their > father and 2 other brothers to Hamilton, Ontario. Records show the date > and place of their death as: "Lake Ontario, Oswego, New York" on July > 20, 1855. I was SO excited to see your mention of the Hudson Bay Company BAIKIES... Have you seen the book by the BAIKIE woman whose husband died shortly after coming to Canada? She was taken in by an Inuit family, else she would have died! The book is _Labrador Memories_ by Margaret Baikie. (While I was checking the title on that, I found the following book: Hid's A'al in a Day's Wark Baikie, R M. £6.95 An Orkney farmer's recollections of the many animals who shared his farming years. 30966 also found a Jim Baikie, who was a comic book artist for Judge Dredd!) I am trying to tie my family to the Canadian Bakies, but I do not yet see a fit. In my family, I have: Father: Donald Bakie, b. 1 SEP 1827 in Reiss, Caithness, Scotland Mother: Catherine Rutledge, b. 21 AUG 1733 in Milldoiggan, Wigtownshire, Scotland Thomas John Bakie Born: 11 JUL 1856 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada Died: 9 NOV 1910 in Cincinnati, OH wife: Mary A. Miller, b. 3 AUG 1859 in Baltimore, MD Married: 27 OCT 1886 in Baltimore, MD 1.James Donald Bakie, b. 18NOV1896 in Albany, NY In Scotland, my Bakies were mostly from Olrig, Caithness.... _-_ gary
