Dear Michael,
I have info on these families through the books Lanark Society Settlers,
Ships' Lists by Neville, and Lanark Society Settlers by Bennett. Do you
already have this or are you interested in these and other Duncans?
Sincerely, Laura

> The first DUNCAN family is James DUNCAN, who emigrated from Scotland

> Emigration Society in 1920 on the ship, “Prompt”. John DUNCAN
> brought 5 of his 6 children to Canada with him –James, Marion, Agnes,
> John, and Jean. The two lines did eventually cross through marriage
> of descendants of these two families. Most families in Lanark
> eventually married into each other. Robert Edmond DUNCAN, son of
