Subject: [NJHUNTER] REIDs of Lambertville

Dear Hunterdon listers:

I have just found out some more information from the 1861 British census
regarding one of my Aberdeen, Scotland families, the REIDs. The two
children I knew about previously both migrated to Lambertville as adults.
Having just discovered the names of two more children, I'm wondering whether
they also migrated to Hunterdon County. I'd like to post this family to the
list (below my signature) in the hopes of attracting descendants of the new
children.

Cheers!
