Greetings - my first message.

I was born in Scotland in 1922 and am working on what may eventually be a fascinating story about a now deceased lady who came from Bannockburn in 1910 (on the Steamship Caledonia. She became the maid to a very wealthy Denver Colorado lady who had just sold a gold mine the the American Gugenheim family for nearly two million dollars. Elizabeth Carson travelled to Europe with the married couple who eventually stayed at the Ritz in London. The husband of the wealthy lady was lost on the Titanic and Elizabeth and her mistress stayed at the Ritz. Then they deparked for New York and Halifax, Canada to find his remains unfortuntely with no success.

Elizabeth Carson's family may be able to provide very important information to make this history more true to life. Elizabeth's father was Alexander J.E. Carson and her mother Margaret Morris Carson. Elizabeth later married a man called Einer Storm both living into their late nineties.
We believe Alexander B. Carson emigrated to join Elizabeth. He left Kirkaldy, Scotland in Septermber 1912.

It would be most helpful if anyone recalls Elizabeth Carson. She was a dear friend of my mother both of whom belonged to the Caledonian Society,in Seattle.

I thank you all sincerely:
