In a quest to find my Airdrie family history, I unraveled not only the lineage  but an interesting story of a family that centered itself in the Rhins of Galloway in  Wigtownshire, Scotland in the parish of Stoneykirk.

The family story starts in Ireland, carries back over to Scotland, then on to  Wales, Canada, Australia and the United States.  My grandfather's lineage centers in  Ontario, Canada with some of his siblings settling in and around the Guelph &  Wellington, Ontario area.  Many of the Airdrie's were involved in one way or another  with agriculture while a handful of others were in the military.

My husband's part of the tree - the Fleming line, has history back to 1849 in Canada  and we are still researching to find where in the U.K. his Fleming's came from and  what their story is.

We are only beginning our quest here so enjoy as you read through.  I would  love to hear from you.
