I began researching my mother's ancestors in 2004 till about 2010, then took a break. I am back now that I am retired and earnestly seeking information on her grandfather Gavin John Ritchie who immigrated from Scotland to Canada about 1887-89. I can currently find no record of him in Scotland though I have him on the 1891 Canadian Census in Manitoba.

Thanks self-certifying for the Pre-1700 badge! Collaboration with Pre-1700 Project members is essential for those wishing to edit Pre-1700 profiles. Collaboration is essential because those ancestors are usually shared by many descendants.
It looks like the Scotland Project would be a good fit based on your branch of WikiTree. Review the project page to learn about resources and guidelines as well as how to collaborate with the project members.
