When the Hudson's Bay Company Archives sent me information on BAIKIES who had been recruited from Orkney, they also sent a bonus -- a list of some seventeen other men who worked for the HBC during the period 1792-1808. I have the Hudson's Bay Company reference numbers so that you can contact them for additional information. Plus, I can send you what details I have: BAIKIE: Thomas - Birsay, Orkney Served 1858-1875 Andrew - Costa, Evie, Orkney Served 1804-1822, age 28? John - Walls, Orkney Served 1851-1861 George -- Entered service 1807, age 37 ROBERTSON: David Entered: 1797, age 31 James 1792, age 41 Thomas 1808, age 20 John 1804, age 25 ROBINSON, George 1807, age 43 MOWAT: James 1803, age 49 William 1809 RENDALL, George 1808, age 21 Magnus 1807, age 39 ARTHUR, Magnus 1808, age 24 JOHNSTON, Thomas 1808, age 24 HARPER: Peter 1807, age 31 William 1803, age 41 BALLENDEN, John 1807, 28 years I have no idea if these men were all from Orkney, if they worked together, or what -- they were listed below the service record of Andrew Baikie (described in HBCA's records as, "An excellent and trustworthy man".) Linda P.S. Thanks again to Ron Garson who first put me on to the HBCA P.P.S. If you want me to send you the attaments HBCA sent me, first let me know whether you have Windows '95 or Windows '97 -- and if you have neither, I'll send them anyway and we'll see what happens!
