Emigration
« on: Tuesday 12 August 14 11:57 BST (UK) »
Hi all,

I appreciate i cannot post about living people so I wondered if anyone knows how to go about finding records of a married couple emigrating from the Dumbarton area to the USA in the late 1950s please?

Thanks,
Shosh

Have a look at this free database from Aberdeen University - it has records up to 1960
