Huguenot and Scots Links 1575-1775

Researchers will discover the identities of many Huguenot emigres or their descendants in a groundbreaking new work from David Dobson. Working from baptismal registers burgess rolls tax lists marriage registers and other primary sources Mr. Dobson has unearthed information concerning over 1000 Scottish Huguenots or their descendants. For each individual the compiler provides the name a locale a date usually an occupation and something about the person (e.g. admitted as a burgess or apprenticed to James Smart a merchant in Edinburgh or married Beatrix Cowan in Canongate). While this book can scarcely claim to list every person of Huguenot descent who made Scotland his or her new home it does refer to over 2000 subjects and their family members or associates.
