Hi listers, I have been looking for someone who according to family lore, came over from Scotland in 1861. The 1880 census shows him to be 34 years old, so he would have been about 15 years old. I am having trouble finding him before that, and it occurred to me that just because such information did not survive, it does not mean that he did not necessarily travel with other family members. If ANY of you run across a George Duncan from Scotland prior to that 1880 census, by which time he is married and settled in Richmond on Stewart Street, I would love to know. His father was William, and mother Elizabeth Reid. What does anyone know about immigration into Richmond? Should I be looking for an area where Scottish people lived close together? Did those people customarily come off the boat at Richmond, or was is there somewhere I should be looking first? I am beginning to wonder if I should look in Canada. Suggestions? Jaime
