Loved this history. Never new. God bless
Your kind words mean a lot to me, thank you for watching and may you be blessed as well!
Very interesting! It is something profound about stories concerning emigration. It is so definitively life changing and deeply moving.
Definitely, their stories make up such a big part of our own stories whetehr we realize it or not.
Thank you for this. Some of my (and my husband's) ancestors went to Canada first and then to Michigan. I always wondered where they first landed since it wasn't Ellis Island.
If it was by boat between 1928 and 1971 it was most likely here. Prior there are numerous possible locations
Our ancestors could have come over around the same time 👋
@@HowWeGotHeremy Ancestor arrived aboard the Annabella in 1770. She sank with all their belongings but everyone had disembarked. This was in PEI and there is a monument that marks this with all the names that came. They were taken care of by those that came before. I am not sure how the ship sank but it left from Campbelltown, Scotland.
Filling in for about a month A Minister friend of mine preached at the Campbelltown Free Church of Scotland . He is resides on PEI. You might want to check out the book. "A Verry Fine Class of Immigrants" Prince Edward Island's Scottish Pioneers 1770 - 1850 - it's a great read about the Scottish immigrants to the Island. Like the Irish they left a lasting mark on the culture here.
They have a great museum at Pier 21…I’ve been there a few times and it’s a very important part of our history that is often overlooked.
Yes spectacular place to go.
So cool my family would be in the scottish immigrants and I'm in the US.
Great Scots are still a big part of North American Society
@@HowWeGotHere definitely, we've had a long time to multiple. All of those kids!
