I am trying to find information or relatives of John P. Nisbet, born 1871 in Elderslie, Scotland and imigrated to USA about 1889. His father was Alexander and his mother Isabelle (Porterfield). Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Which Alexander Nisbet. There are so many. I have several in my family which come from Edinburgh and Haddington areas.

Do you have any dates on his parents or grandparents?

Hi, the only information I have on Alexander Nisbet is he was born in 1839 in Elderslie, Scotland and died in 1887 in Maryhill, Scotland. He married Isabelle Porterfield who was born in 1838 in Scotland and died in 1914 in Salt Lake City, Utah. I don't have any parent information or siblings.

Hi
John Portefield Nisbet was the brother of my Great grandfather James Porterfield Nisbet. John married Marie Gashard. He died on August 15th 1922 in Salt Lake City, Utah. John was a Bank Clerk in the Federal Reserve Bank.
Have more info on other family members in required.
Hope this helps
Maureen.
