I am certainly happy to see this list up and running again, but before it becomes a Quebec web site let me place PEI on it again. We also had a few Scots there as well. My Grandfather, Roderick J. McInnis, was born on PEI on 4 July 1864. His parents were both from Scotland, but sadly yhat is all the factual info I have on them, other than my mother said that his parents' name was John and Mary. Roderick arrived in the US in 1881 and missed both Census takers. He married Catherine Doucet from Inverness Co Nova Scotia in the 1890's. I believe either in Gloucester, MA. or PEI as the family of Doucet believes. I find him in 1900,1910,1920 census while he was living in Massachusetts. He was a crpenter by trade. Roderick died on 15 August 1929 while living in West Roxbury, MA. I have received info on Roderick A. McInnis, but alas not on mine. If you know any one who could use info on Roderick A. let me know and I would be glad to supply thaem with what I have. My Rodericks' children started passing away in the 1980's, but they also had children and I find it hard to believe that they too must want to know about their ancesters. I thought I'd have heard from them by now, but no. Thank you for your time, Jim
Your not the only one that is not looking for Scotish ancestory in Quebec. I have ancestory dating back to the 1700s in PEI, Ontario. and early 1800s Manitoba. Some did go from Pei to MA.
