Hi everyone,
I've finally launched a project that's long been on my mind. The link
between Carolina Scots (usually, but not always, having immigrated from the
Scottish Highlands) and Mississippi Scots has intrigued me since I started
doing family research. It was typically the children of the original
immigrants who started migrating westward, some making stops in Georgia and
Alabama, but eventually settling in Mississippi. Eventually, Scots from all
over the Carolinas had made their way to Mississippi!
I've started a Rootsweb mailing list called MS-SCOTS, for people with an
interest in Scottish immigrants or their descendants, who migrated to MS
between 1800-1900 (approximately). If you'd like to subscribe, send mail to MS-
SCOTS-L-request(a)rootsweb.com with the single word subscribe in the message
body. To join MS-SCOTS-D (the digest version), do the same thing with the
address MS-SCOTS-D-request(a)rootsweb.com
Please feel free to forward this to anyone who may be interested!
It's my hope that researchers who have missing branches on their Scottish
family trees and/or ancestors with missing time periods, will benefit from
exchanging with other researchers who have a similar interest.
