Scottish Immigrants to North America,
1600s-1800s
======================================================================
This
database contains immigration records for approximately 70,000
Scottish
immigrants to the United States and Canada. Extracted from a
great variety
of sources both in North America and Scotland, the
information collected
here would otherwise be difficult to access.

private and public sources including
passenger lists, newspapers, church
records, land deeds, records of
indenture, and oaths of allegiance.

Topographical Dictionaries of England, Ireland, and

A
gazetteer is a topographical (or geographical) dictionary in which
a
location's political and physical features are defined. For example,
for a

The Irish Flax Grower's List,
1796
======================================================================
In
1796, the Irish Linen Board published a list of nearly 60,000
individuals
who received awards for planting between one and five
acres of flax.
Individuals who planted one acre were awarded four
spinning-wheels, and
those growing five acres were awarded a loom.
The "Flax Grower's List," is
an extremely useful genealogical record
since virtually no Irish census of
the nineteenth century has survived.

Census Records: United Kingdom,
1851
======================================================================
This
database includes all of the information you'd find on the actual
census
page. Knowing the exact town or parish of a person's birth can
be especially
helpful in tracking a person's mobility and in locating
the proper entries
in civil registration records or parish registers.

Get the Grandchildren
Interested
======================================================================
I
have noticed that many schoolchildren do projects on their family
trees and
go around asking about their ancestors. I always thought
that my
grandchildren would certainly have any easy time of it, because
of all my
research. Then I realized that my ancestors are only
one-fourth of theirs
and maybe their other family members might not
have the information readily
available. So today, I...

It
was late in 1996 and we had a baby in the house. (We still do, but
now that
she’s ten, she balks at being called “a baby.”) By this time
my husband had
listened to several months worth of lectures from yours
truly on how
wasteful he was being, spending all this money hooking us
up to that
Internet thingy. What possible use could it be?

Canadian
Directories
======================================================================
The
arrival of the 21st century more or less coincided with the end
of the
publication of directories in Canada. For at least 150 years
city and
regional directories served as a useful source of information
about
businesses and residents across the country. Several factors
combined

My Ancestor’s John
Hancock
======================================================================
Whether
he signed with a flourish, scribbled out a scrawl, or
literally made his
mark, seeing your ancestor’s “signature” provides
a different perspective
especially when pictures and images are not
available. This week we look at
some places where you might find traces
of your ancestor’s handwriting among
the records.

important information you
find.
