My 3rd g-grandparents, Niel MUNRO (1774-1835) & Agnes/Ann MCPHERSON (abt 1785-1855), came from Argyll to Elgin Co, Ontario in about 1827 with 7 sons: John, Donald/Daniel, Neil, Duncan, Colin, Archibald & Dugald. Daughter Mary was born after arrival. I have a lot of information I am willing to share. I'm least sure about John & Donald/Daniel. Colin was Sheriff of Elgin Co for many years. Their son Duncan MUNRO (1811-1899) is my 2nd g-grandfather & married Catherine MCCOWAN (1816-1866). Her parents were Capt. Hugh MCCOWAN (1787-1863) & Isabelle GRAHAM (1789-1876) who also came to Elgin Co. from Argyll in about 1820. Duncan & Catherine had Neil, Nancy, Hugh, Duncan, Colin, Margaret, Alexander, Archibald, Daniel, Isabel & John. Their son Hugh Cowan MUNRO (1840-1909) is my g-grandfather & married Nancy/Agnes CAMPBELL (1848-1932), daughter of Neil CAMPBELL (d aft 1850?) & Betsy MCINTYRE (1826-1867). Betsty/Elizabeth's parents were Duncan MCINTYRE (abt 1780-1870) & Sarah MCPHERSON (1789-1865). I don't know much about Neil CAMPBELL, my 2nd g-grandfather. He apparently died young and Betsy remarried to a John MCKILLOP (d 1888). All of these families came from Argyll, Scotland--primarily Parish of Kilninver & Kilmelford, some from Parish of Craignish. I have collected a lot of information--have recently been going over microfilms of Parish birth & marriage records & piecing together family in Scotland. I'd be delighted to correspond with anyone connected to these Argyll-Elgin Co. lines and willing to share all my information. D. Lou Ritter, Kalamazoo, MI

My great grandfather brings me to my search in Canada. I don't have a lot of information yet but Joseph L. Elliott was born in July 1863 probably in Quebec as his mother tongue was French. From what I've been able to determine thus far his father was from Scotland with a mother tongue of English and his mother was Canadian with a mother tongue of French also. He is reported to have immigrated at about age 17 to Wisconsin, USA. I don't know at this time if he immigrated with anyone or on his own. I currently looking for access to the books "French-Canadian Families of the North Central States" as he is probably listed in the book. I also have someone searching for his obituary in Wisconsin as I am doing research from New Mexico. I do have further information about his wife, family, etc. but am still searching for his birth information and parents information.

My Scots in Canada were the family of Hugh ADAMS (b 1830), arrived late 1850s with wife Barbara LYALL (b 1831) and children Barbara Mill ADAMS (b 1851) Isabella ADAMS (b 1853) Margaret ADAMS (b 1855) children born in Canada, probably Ontario, place unknown: William ADAMS (b ca 1858) Barbara T ADAMS (b ca 1861) Currently, I'm hoping to go to Ottawa later this summer to try and find the passenger list. I'd appreciate knowing of others' experiences searching for family on passenger lists in Ottawa. Any advice or suggestions will be gratefully received. Elsa Vorwerk in Allegany County, Maryland, USA

Interested to find a Barclay that (1) could have come to Nova Scotia about 1780ies. Married a Holesworth. OR (2) could have come ca. 1840s.
