John Stewart's 156-day Emigration in 1820 | Neilson-Nelson Kith and Kin | Week 4

I'm transcribing John Stewart's 1820 voyage from Scotland to Canada, including a harrowing storm on Lake Ontario. This is Week 4 of the Neilson-Nelson Kith and Kin Family History Series In this episode, I'm working with a fascinating excerpt from the journal of John Stewart, my 4th great-grandfather, and his account of a journey by ship from Scotland to Ontario, Canada, including a harrowing storm on Lake Ontario. John Stewart's Connection to the Kith and Kin Story: John's daughter Catherine married Andrew, a son of John Nelson and Janet Weir, making both families part of my ancestral line. This voyage account is one page in the larger Kith and Kin manuscript I'm researching. The Research Challenge: Transcribing and exploring Stewart's 1820 emigration account from a typed manuscript, extracting key dates and locations, and creating a timeline table that reveals the journey from Scotland to Canada.
