Hello Dorla, I'm not on your "tree" but, as with all the members of Norma's site, we are all Petrie "cousins" really ....... My reason for making contact is - have you discovered the Ellis Island site? Where you might find your Petries entering the USA .... One kind site member (apologies to that member for not remembering your name! and many belated thanks!) notified us of the address: http://www.ellisislandrecords.org The site has certainly helped me in my research. Have found five family entries - I love the site. Bye for now Heather >From: [email protected] >To: [email protected] >Subject: [Petrie-Scotland] Looking for family history... >Date: Thu, 16 Aug 2001 10:55:07 EDT > >I am looking for history notes on our family's history and emmigration from >Scotland to upstate New York.
