Specifikacia The People of Glasgow and Clydesdale at Home and Abroad, 1800-1850 Dobson David
This book identifies the people resident in Glasgow and in neighboring Clydesdale (alias Lanarkshire), as well as persons abroad who originated in these locations, during the first half of the 19th century. The information derives from a wide range of sources such as court records, contemporary newspapers and journals, monumental inscriptions, and documents found in archives. The entries bring together emigrants, their origins, and destinations--especially in North America, the West Indies, and Australasia--with their kin who remained in Scotland.The best sources for those researchers with their roots in or around Glasgow are two Family History Societies: the Glasgow and West Scotland FHS and the Lanarkshire FHS. The best singe genealogy library in the area is the Mitchell Library, Glasgow, which claims to be one of the largest reference libraries in Europe.
