Emigration

There are 2 messages in this section.

Charles Walker from Dalkeith. Posted 12 Jul 2004.
My Great Uncle left Scotland for Canada in 1928 to work on something called the "Harvestore Scheme." I have the passenger list for his ship and it shows dozens of young men in the same boat (so to speak). But I cannot for the life of me find any information on what this Scheme was (except that it was run by the then Ministry of Labour. Does anyone know anything about it?

I know that there was a Harvester Scheme in Canada in 1928 where men were contracted from Ireland to work for a certain period before returning. Perhaps you might find some info under "Harvester Scheme". Good luck!
