The Family History Library in Salt Lake City has microfilmed copies of ship's passenger lists from Glasgow. I found my
grandparents on these lists. They immigrated from Glasgow in fall, 1921. That's all the info I had, but with some sleuthing, I
was able to find them on the microfilm. What a thrill it was!
