My Grandparents were James and Mary Walker (Skinner). They left Kemnay and came to the Boston, Massachusetts, USA area in 1921 when my mother was 9 years of age. Mary was the eldest of, I believe, 12 or 13 children of William Skinner and his wife Elizabeth (Beattie).
I remember my Grandmother speaking of her brother Bob and a sister Lizzie. Her youngest brother, Daniel Breslin Skinner, also immigrated to the Boston area. Thanks to the wonderful records that are now available online, I've been able to track 4 generations back but I have many missing names. If there are any Skinners, Beatties or Walkers with Or without a knowledge of our genealogy, I would sincerely appreciate hearing from you.
Thank you so very much.

Do you have any info re your Walker line? My great great grandfather was Alexander Walker. My great great grandmother was Mary Ann Milne who died on 10th April, 1882. I am descended from their daughter Agnes. Together they had another three children. Alexander Walker then married Helen or Ellen Ann McRitchie and together they had 6 children, one being James Walker, born @ 1895. Is this your James Walker?
