Hello, this is my first new topic post. I am looking into the Tweedie line of my ancestry. I cannot get further than my 4th great grandfather, James Tweedie, who emigrated from Scotland to Canada in 1821. I understand there is a book with potential information that may be helpful to me.
WHYTE, DONALD. A Dictionary of Scottish Emigrants to Canada before Confederation. Toronto: Ontario Genealogical Society. Volume 2, 1995. 435p.
Thats the book, but I am wondering if anyone has any information, suggestions, or advice in terms of looking for leads.
The info I have on James Tweedie is being born in 1797 in Torthowald, Dumfriesshire, Scotland. Married to Margaret Byer in 1819 in Kircudbrightshire (if I spelled that right), Scotland.
