Based on documents found in British archives and a handful of published sources, this work has the names of over 5,000 Scottish emigrants appearing in ship passenger lists before 1825. It also has data on about 1,000 Scots who settled in North America between 1625 and 1825. The bulk of the immigrants identified arrived in the U.S. or Canada between 1773 and 1815. The information given on each immigrant varies according to the type of record, but there is a fair mix of data giving age, date of birth, occupation, place of residence, names of family members, date and place of arrival, and circumstances of emigration.

Directory of Scottish Settlers in North America, 1625 to,

This review is from: Directory of Scottish Settlers in North America, 1625-1825 Vol. VI (Paperback)
I was very disappointed in this book. As a genealogist I found it very incomplete. I know of other families that are documented here in that time period that are not included, including the Templeton line I am researching. I have gone to several family message boards to let them know they are not included and advised them to save their money!

Sure, it's just lists of names. But, if you're doing genealogical research, those names can be as precious as gold. I'm very glad that David Dobson has done so much work for us.

This review is from: Directory of Scottish Settlers in North America, 1625-1825 Vol. VI (Paperback)
A limited source due to records being maintained for those emigrating from Scotland. The ships listed were from only a small number of ports to many ports in America.
