Kate and Terry, It is exciting to read both of your posts and messages this morning. I hope we can all share personal emails and compare the pieces of information we have on the Cruickshank/Cruikshank family from Scotland to Musquodoboit, Nova Scotia to Minnesota.

I have TWO Cruikshank lines, because of a marriage between second cousins. In one side, I am still not sure where my John Cruikshank was born in Scotland, who he married, or where he died. On the other side, we know the origins, marriage info and full info on James Merklin Cruikshank, and his wife Elizabeth Gordon. Please get in touch.

All best wishes, Darlene Cruikshank Joyce, MN
