Question

I am looking for the father of my great, great grandfather Alexander Buchanan (1791- 1875 ) who came to Canada in 1827

Answer 1

Am I correct in assuming he came from Scotland?   If so any idea where in Scotland.

Answer 2

If you go to www.familysearch.org and put in his name and age and then

click residence you will see a number of Alexander's. There are some very well documented that might be related. It would be easier if you knew his wife's name. If you do then put down spouse.
