Surnames: Lunam Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/EgC.2ACE/9963 Message Board Post: We are trying to trace our family roots. We know that Peter Lunam (married to Ann Loten) moved to Shawville, Quebec in 1824. The records show that he was from Thurston, Scotland. We are unable to find any record of the town/village of Thurston (we know that it is not to be confused with Thurso). Can you help? Is it possible that it was merged with another town and the name lost? Any help would be most appreciated.
