Sinopsi

From 1983 to 1993 the Genealogical Company published seven volumes in a series entitled 'Directory of Scottish Settlers in North America, 1625-1825,' by Dr. David Dobson. That series, which was based on a wide range of sources, was thought to have been completed by 1993, and thereafter the author?s emphasis was on specific colonies or regions of the Americas--for example 'Scots in Georgia and the Deep South, 1735-1845', or 'Scots in Jamaica, 1655-1855'--or related topics such as 'Ships from Scotland to America, 1628-1828.' However, since 1993 Dobson?s ongoing research in often obscure sources has unearthed a substantial number of references to Scottish immigrants in America, Canada, and the West Indies, for the period 1625-1825. The quantity and the quality of these sources--located in Scottish, English, American, Canadian and Dutch archives--has justified this volume of more than 1,000 references to early Scots in the Americas, many of which were previously unknown to researchers.
