Is there any way to access the Perth Settlement Register besides going to
the National Archives of Canada? Is there a similar one for Lanark? I am
looking for information on Francis and Sarah ALEXANDER who are from Ireland
and show up in Perth, Lanark, Canada by 1820 when their first child was born
in December. I have searched the land records from the Archives but have
not found anything. It appears that in Perth or Bathurst until at least
1837 when their last child was baptized.
