Before your post disappears - is there anything we can help with here on TS to get you on the way to trace your Scottish ancestors - or do you already have all you need? - for instance do you know anything about your parents families here?

Best regards

With those birth years you should be able to find them on the Scotlands People site. (the blue link at the top of the page)

added later - Robert Wilson R Worsley, born 1903 St Peter Parish, Dundee

Margaret Brown Walker, born 1901 Scoonie, Fife


Didn't have any more credits to look at them in detail, but they are there.

Hello Beeaired,
My father traveled to Canada on the Fairsea in 1957 and 2 of my siblings were like you born in Montreal.
The best palce to find info on your parents travel and arrival here in Canada is to contact the National Archives .You can visit their site here...
http://www.collectionscanada.ca/index-e.html
Depending on when your family came to Canada there are different forms you will have to fill out to access the information.
For further reading on people traveling to Canada try the Pier 21 site ...
http://www.pier21.ca/?home
Hope this helps.
Happy Hunting,
HeatherH
