Above Photo, in the back row and far left is Alex Reid, who emigrated to Canada and reared his family in Toronto. . Below is his only granddaughter Colleen standing outside the original 'Reid' homestead in Ballyeaston village, (July 2006), outside Ballyclare in Co. Antrim. Behind her is 1st Ballyeaston Presbyterian Church. This is where James Reid (from Paisley, Scotland) first settled when he came to Ulster. The house has probably been renovated a few times since then and only this year, 2008, it has been completely rebuilt.
