Re: Trying to find out my background
I did a quick search of immigrant records from Ellis Island. Of people with the surname Cunningham who have listed a previous residence, most were from Scotland.There are also a large number of Cunninghams listed as immigrating from England, as well as other British colonies. A few other Cunninghams are listed from Ireland.~~~While I was at it, I decided to search the other surnames on the Ellis Island website. Of the Sherrills I found, almost all that were listed were US citizens re-entering the country. There was one from Liberia and a few with the spelling Cherrill who were from England. There were MANY Millers, so I just looked at the year 1892. There were many from England, Germany, and Scotland. There are also some from Ireland, Poland, and other countries.edited: to add other two surnames
