SUMMARY:Finding Our Scottish Immigrant's Home with American Documents
DESCRIPTION:Robert Gillespie\, husband\, father\, and miner emigrated to the United States in 1869; he never became a United States citizen. Without naturalization information\, it becomes more difficult to find the birthplace of the émigré before 1900. This presentation concentrates on looking for other sources and sites to find his hometown.
