I am trying desperately to find emigration (or ANY) information on Thomas Craig, and ancestors. The Westen Canadian Craig's have been extremely difficult to trace. The only information I have is his wife's name (Christian Grant Hynes), and their son's information, which is Noble John Craig, Born 17 July, 1906, Pincher Creek, Alberta, Canada. Died 04 March, 1983. Any suggestions or leads would be appreciated

Hi Mo,
if this is 'my' Donald Duff then he and his first wife, Janet 'Jessie' Murray, had the following, Donald (Daniel?), Alexander, George, Catherine, William, Ann, Janet, Margaret & Robert. Janet died and Donald then married Isabella Gunn abt 1844 and they had the following: Bell, Ann & Johanna. Some offspring from each of the two familes came to Australia and my husband's Granfather is descended from Janet of the first family and his Grandfather was descended from Ann of the second family.
I know, very confusing!!
If you would like to share some info about this family I would like to communicate directly so we could email documents, etc.
Cheers, Jean.
