Scots in Poland Russia and the Baltic States 1550-1850

For this book Mr. Dobson combed through more than forty manuscript collections and published works to arrive at a list of 2500 Scots who settled in the Baltic. Arranged alphabetically the entries furnish the individual's name with variants a place of residence in Eastern Europe the date of the record and its source. Given the widely disparate character of the subject matter one may also find a reference to the individual's place of origin in Scotland occupation relationships to other persons named (i.e. parent spouse offspring) membership in a fraternal organization etc. Spanning a period of 300 years Mr. Dobson's ground-breaking collection of Scots in the Baltic may just produce the ancestral clue to your Scottish heritage in the last place you were expecting to find it.
