Product Description
Book Description
In this volume Mr. Dobson introduces the researcher to little-known source materials--the Services of Heirs and the Register of Testaments of the Commissariat of Edinburgh. From the Services of Heirs he extracted all references to North American residents who inherited land in Scotland, and also to Americans who left land in Scotland. From the Register of Testaments he provided abstracts of the testaments of all North American residents who chose to have their wills registered in Edinburgh. All of this data serves to confirm a relationship between the inheritor and his ancestor.

Directory of Scottish Settlers in North America, 1625 to,
By Gayla Templeton (KS USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Directory of Scottish settlers in North America, 1625-1825 (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 (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.
