Thanking you in advance. I am going to give you the lot and hope that you can fit your interests to whatever you feel appropriate. At each step of the Dempster line, past my father, I have not found siblings for any of the Dempsters. I am working up the DEMPSTER line but with effort being spent to gather the mates and siblings along with associated dates and notes, as available. I am only going two deep...i.e., the mate and their parents and siblings. Canada: Gen 1. Alan Kemp Dempster [me] Gen 2. James Kemp Dempster [my father] Scotland: Gen 3. Lauchlan John Dempster [January 23, 1887] m. Kattie Fraser [December 31, 1888] [William Fraser (need his parents John Fraser and Jessie Fraser marriage date and parents and siblings for each) + Mary Ann Swan] February 24, 1911, Portobello, St. Cuthberts, Edinburgh, Scotland=>Presbyterian. Gen 4. Lauchlan John Dempster [July 31, 1863] m. Georgina Mills [May 09, 1867][George Mills + Margaret MacKay (nothing of her background known) December 07, 1884...no location except Portobello, may have been St. Cuthberts as above. Gen 5. Lachlan Dempster [Sept. 28, 1838] m1. Cecilia Lindsay [Edinburgh][b.?][1st marriage=five children][James Lindsay + Ann Gordon...their details needed] James Kemp m2 Cecilia Lindsay [Edinburgh][October 01, 1875...two children, nothing of Kemps known] m.

Mary Cummings [?](father Bernard Cummings, no mother noted) February 20, 1835/only one child noted. Any assistance to fill in the missing details would be gratefully accepted.
