Hi!
Does anyone know on what ship James Cairns (20 July 1829 New Kilpatrick, Scot.-19 Oct.
1875 Springfield, MO), his wife Isabel Gordon Cairns (3 May 1825 Carluke, Lanarkshire,
Scot.-Sept. 188l Topeka, KS) and their children (William, Peter, Isabel, Masy, John, Kate,
Jane, Mary, and Christina) arrived in Halifax, Nova Scotia around May of 1866? They were
from the Glasgow region of Scotland, so I suppose they were on a ship out of either
Glasgow or Liverpool. There is also a possibiltiy they utilized the Perpetual Emigrating
Fund offered by the Latter-day Saint Church, as they were members of that church at that
time.
Thank you for your help!
