Carmela, 1000xlch, and ~meg,
Thanks so much for your help ... I've been browsing those links. Good ones! The Ellis Island database appears to only go up to 1924 so no records in there for the year (1930)
Funny how I can find no mention of Margaret Clow and her parents and brother in the Canadian sites. Oh well .. I'll keep on searching
For my own family SMITH search ... my GGG Grandpa is listed in several sources like censuses as England and religeon as Church of England... plus our family has always mentioned that Grandpas side was from England (toss in some local aboriginal and Scotland (mostly Orkneys) along the way) ... Nope ... GGG Grandpa "John James Smith" was from England. I'll contact the Hudsons Bay Company Archives in Winnipeg and find out what I can about how to get records or something.
Thanks again everyone...
