Since I started this (my apologies to the listowner?), I'd better contribute my REIDs. For those not wishing to delve further, the following REID family migrated from Aberdeen, Scotland in 1883 to Minnehaha Co, South Dakota, then to Hunterdon Co, New Jersey, USA. For the brave, a copy of my Reid FTW Genealogy Report is below my signature. I'd love to hear from anyone with connections or suggestions. Cheers! Mary Jo C.
