Volume One of Scottish Immigrants to North America, 1600s-1800s. Records identifying and documenting Scottish immigrants in the United States and Canada have been notoriously hard to find. But thanks to David Dobson's researches in record offices and archives throughout Great Britain and North America, there is now information pertaining to the identity of approximately 75,000 of these early Scots immigrants. In the course of this research Dobson examined every known source of information, including parish records, passenger lists, prison records, church records, court records, deeds, wills, marriage contracts, Treasury papers, State papers, newspapers, and journals. As far as these historical sources will allow, a definitive body of information has been assembled. For over twenty five years David Dobson has been trolling for the names of Scottish immigrants in North America, the majority of whom arrived in America from the earliest colonial times up to the Revolutionary War. In this CD-ROM which captures the page images of his earlier publications, the fruit of David Dobson's research is available instantly, and at a fraction of the cost of the original printed publications. Variously providing such items as the immigrant's name, date and place of birth, occupation, cause of banishment, residence, names of parents and other family members, port of embarkation, destination, name of ship, place and date of arrival, place of settlement, names of spouse and children, and date and place of death, this CD incorporates all sixteen Dobson publications listed below: |
Now, after more than
a decade, there is a new CD. Volume Two of
Scottish Immigrants to North America, 1600s-1800s contains
twenty-six of Dobson's most recent books, not one of which can be found
on the original CD. For the volumes on this CD, Dobson combed through
sources in archives in Scotland, England, Denmark, and North America,
including newspapers such as the Aberdeen Journal, Fife
Advertiser, and Glasgow Herald; the Calendar of British State
Papers; Scottish Services of Heirs; the Edinburgh Registry of Deeds;
Acts of the Privy Council; records of the High Court of the Admiralty;
records from a number of Scottish shipping lines, and gravestones. Dobson has expanded on subjects covered in the first CD and ploughs entirely new ground in this one. For example, Volume Two contains sequel volumes to Scots in the USA and Canada, Directory of Scots in the Carolinas, and Scots in the West Indies. Conversely, it also traces Scots to Georgia and the Deep South, the American West, and via Scandinavia to the New World. Covering about 100,000 Scots not found in the prequel, this CD presents some or all of the following information on each immigrant: name, date and place of birth, occupation, cause of banishment, residence, names of parents or other family members, port of embarkation, destination, name of ship, place and date of arrival, place of settlement, names of spouse and children, and date and place of death. Following is a complete list of the twenty-six books on this fully searchable CD: |
