I am trying desperately to find emigration (or ANY) information on Thomas Craig. The Westen Canadian Craig's have been extremely difficult to trace. The only information I have is his wife's name (Christian Grant Hynes), and their son's information, which is Noble John Craig, Born 17 July, 1906, Pincher Creek, Alberta, Canada. Died 04 March, 1983. Any suggestions or leads would be appreciated

I grew up close to Pincher Creek and have family there - are you in contact with any of the Craigs there? If you are interested I can ask my aunt to check around in the local history books there.
