Don't know if this is anything, but I, too, have PAUL and ALEXANDER in my tree. I do have a LOT of info on my family, but there are a few gaps. My Grandma, Marion Scoular PAULmarried John Simpson ALEXANDER in Kansas in 1886. Marion came to the US with her family at age 11 (born:Oct. 28, 1869)from Scotland
. I have not determined which port they came through.I always heard Ellis Isl., but it didn't open until 1892. So now I'm wondering if it was New York at all. Marion's first 3 children were born in Kansas (the 1st one died young), then they all moved on (PAULs and ALEXANDERs) to Wyoming, where a dau. was born in 1893.The rest of the children were born in Montana. Some time after John ALEXANDER was killed in a mine cave-in in Livingston, Montana in 1906, Marion Moved out West with my Mother, Fern, the youngest,
via Oregon, then here to Washington, where she lived out her days.Marion was taken back to Montana to be buried next to her husband in Livingston. Don't know where/when/how John S. ALEXANDER got to the [email protected]
