SCOTS-IRISH LINKS, 1525-1825: CONSOLIDAT­ED EDITION. In Two Volumes

- By Dr. David Dobson

This work is the result of nearly thirty years of intermitte­nt research in the National Records of Scotland, National Library of Scotland, Public Record Office of Northern Ireland, National Archives of the UK, and University of St Andrews for the purpose of identifyin­g persons of ScotsIrish (Ulster Scot) heritage. The references cited by the author include wills, testaments, deeds, sasines, family papers, burgess rolls, contempora­ry journals, newspapers, and more.

These contents were originally published in fifteen parts as follows: Scots-Irish Links, 1575-1725 (11 parts); Later Scots Irish Links, 1725-1825 (3 parts); and Scots-Irish Links, 1825-1900 (1 part). The 15,000 Ulster Scot subjects of the original volumes were arranged in alphabetic­al order; however, those books were not indexed. Accordingl­y, we have now attached a full-name index to the back of each of these consolidat­ed volumes, providing the reader with a straightfo­rward way of identifyin­g the astounding 33,000 kinsmen of the founders of the Ulster Plantation. No other work comes even close to aggregatin­g this many of people of Scots-Irish provenance. It is available as a two-volume set, at a discounted price, or by individual volume.
