Robert Andrew Cumming Timmins,Ontario,Canada Mar 22, 2004
Hi
I am trying to trace the Cumming familly back from my Grandfather and Grandmother without God help me , spending any money. I know Scotish records are the best in the world and there must be places where they can be extracted. My Grandfather, Andrew Cumming came to Canada on a Ship called the Minnedosa in 1930, followed by my Grandmother and the kids in 1932 on a ship called the Athenia.Her maiden name was Katherine Orr, and I would be interested in going back in that direction also.
Thanks.

I am researaching my family tree and stuck on a branch ha ha. Ok, I am looking for any details on Alexander Reid who was married to Ann (Annie) nee Edward. I only know of one son by the name of John. On John's marriage cert, it is listed that he was born in Alyth, Perthshire Scotland. John was 26 when he married a Mary Ann Leary in Gympie, Queensland Australia in 1890. That means John was born around 1863/64? Trying to find out when Alexander and Annie came to Australia. Alexander was listed as being a farm servant. John was listed as being a miner. Any info anyone can come up with on Alexander and Annie re their parentage and siblings etc would be greatly appreciated.
