Dear Sirs. As I am left alone and getting two an age. (66) not knowing anything at all of my ancesters except my father and mother were married in Scotland came two US 1870 or 1871. My father David Miller followed mining and the last time I remember of his saying He worked in the mines were at Salt Lake. If I remember corectly we lived in Salt Lake about one and a half years, as near as I can figure would be about, 1877 or 1878. I have heard my father David Miller mention several times that he joined the Morman Church while living there. and thought possible that your reckards might give me some information where he was born. I am trying two try and get in comunications with some off former generations Mothers name Isabella know of was a brother of my father George Miller who died at Salt Lake 40 or 50 years ago, any information that you might have will be appreciated
