I have some missing Munro's from Scotland. David Alexander Stevenson MUNRO and his brother Dr. Thomas Murray MUNRO were on a farm in Wester Muir Dean NW of Kelso Scotland in the 1881 SCT Census. All Census returns after that there is no trace that I could find of them? Did they go to USA or Canada??
My Irish ancestors the Lawlor family from county Kerry and my Harrington ancestors from county Cork passed through Ellis Island as did my Italian ancestors the Brescia and Frazzano families all settling and raising several generations in Malden Massachusetts to this day.
