This is probably your Great Uncle. He states that he was a policeman, in transit and headed for Shanghai China, that his father was William Cumming, 326 West Princes Street in Glasgow and that he had a cousin named Mrs. Jessie Cumming, 104 Franklin Street, Boston, Massachusetts. Will send at least the two images directly. Might be more depending on what is on the first and last pages of the ships log. They are JPEG so you should have no trouble opening them. Please advise that received ok so I can delete them from my computer. Hope this helps, Gretchen BOSTON PASSENGER LIST 1820 - 1943 Name: David Alexander Cumming Arrival Date: 21 Sep 1930 Age: 27 years Estimated Birth Year: abt 1903 Gender: Male Ethnic Background: Scotch Port of Departure: Glasgow, Scotland Ship Name: California Port of Arrival: Boston, Massachusetts Friend's Name: Jessie Cumming Last Residence: Scotland Microfilm Roll Number: 363 ORIGINAL QUESTION: From: "Barron, Margaret" Subject: Long-Lost Great Uncle My great grandmother was Christina R. SEIVWRIGHT, born 1882 in Cullen, Banff-shire, Scotland to Alexander SEIVWRIGHT & Ann GORDON. I have just discovered that before she was married to my great-grandfather, she had a son illegitimately. His name was (is?) Alexander Sievewright CUMMING (the father was William Brodie CUMMING born 16 May 1874 in Fordyce, Banff-shire, Scotland to George CUMMING & Margaret STEVENSON). Alexander was known as "Sandy" and he was born 13 September 1902 at Seafield, Rathven, Banff-shire, Scotland. I had always just thought that "Sandy" was the long-lost older (full) brother of my grandfather, therefore had the BARRON surname, so I was always looking in wrong places. > SNIPPED DUE TO LENGTH <
