My ancestor was Robert McInnes. Family lore has him coming to Halifax as a young man. He told of remembering seeing icebergs. I've asked about him before without much luck. Actually this time I was looking for general information on migration from Islay to Canada (Ontario, Nova Scotia) up to about 1860ish that might be of interest to us all. That seems like such a black hole. Why they went, how they went, ships, etc. etc. The general historical facts are so interesting.
