• What I am searching for is some way to locate more information on the following family information:  A Dr. Alex (Alec) BISSET (Bissett, Bissit) was in the British Honduras in the 1950's and 1960's and married a lady from there whose father was a mahogany farmer.  Alex was from Scotland and we think he worked for the British government.  He visited with relatives in Toronto, Canada at least two times, had two sons with red hair and was probably born circa 1825.  On one of his trips to Toronto, he had been attending a seminar in the U.S. on infectious diseases and had to cut his Toronto visit short to rush back to Honduras due to a terrible tidal wave??  We think he returned to Scotland.  Unfortunately, I do not know the name of his wife.  Any clues you can provide as to how/where to search would be greatly appreciated.  Cheryl Maxwell.  25-Aug-1998
