Hello Kim,

I don't know if you are still searching for your family, but I came across your post during some research of my own.

I have an extensive tree of James Aird's family. Perhaps we could share information.

James Aird was born 3rd June 1796 in Glasgow, Scotland. He was the son of John Aird and Jean Orr.

He lived and married in Sorn, which is a village about 29 miles south-west of Glasgow.

He had 13 children in all. John Robert did indeed emigrate to WI in 1853 as did his sister Margaret Baillie Aird who was married to John Richmond Lambie. They went to live in Kaukauna, Wisconsin (sp?). Two of John Robert's nephews emigrated to Queensland, Aus. and one of his niece's emiagrated to Vancouver, Can.

Please find attached a picture of James Aird's gravestone in Sorn cemetary. The two people in the photo are my mother and grandmother. James Aird is my gran's gt. gt. grandfather.

We are descended from his 7th child - William Aird who was the innkeeper in Sorn.
