Wonderful! Thank you! I will search. I saw a couple of copies of individual volumes advertised for sale on Amazon.com that were each --- mind you, EACH listed at $293!

The Lands and People of Moray by Bruce Bishop sounds like a goldmine of information on the area. I will see how I can get a hold of it. I am in California and just might have to schedule a trip to Salt Lake City. Does anyone know if the book has been digitized yet?

Thank you so much for your reply! Yes, I have checked both the Family Search and the Scotland's People sites. I will now search the other sites you suggested. It's difficult without parents' names, parish names or really, an exact location, but I will persevere!

Moray (Elginshire) / Parish Registers - STUART

I am looking for a needle in a haystack, but here goes. My 2x great grandfather, Charles Stuart (b. 1806) left Scotland by ship at age 10 in April 1816 to live with an uncle and two aunts in New Brunswick. He arrived in June 1816. I assume he was an orphan. Of the two aunts who I assume accompanied him on his voyage, one was named May Stuart. Her birth date is believed to be 1768. The other aunt's name is not known. I have found no ship records. The uncle, John Stuart, according to his land grant applications in the Miramichi area of Northumberland, New Brunswick, listed his birth as 1783 in Speymouth. John Stuart lists his "two sisters and his brother's son" in his application saying he had sole responsibility for them in making his case for his land grant. John Stuart arrived in New Brunswick in June 1814. Family names used by Charles and his wife Helen Loggie (b. Loggieville, Northumberland, New Brunswick) besides Charles, Ellen and John include Alexander, Elizabeth, Margaret, Robert, James and Ann. Helen Loggie's parents were Scots John Loggie and Margaret Morrison from the Loggie family of Redhall. John Loggie's parents were Robert Logie and Marjory Hay, if that helps. I know families tended to emigrate together so that is why I am hoping that my Stuart ancestor might find be found in some parish record in Morayshire. Such meager information, I know, but can anyone give me some advice? I should mention that my Charles Stuart's obituary of 1878 said he was born in Sutherlandshire, just to confuse things.
