Settling under the Saltire - Finding the Irish in Scotland

6/6/2017

I have recently returned from a trip to Dublin where I was presenting a talk to the Irish Genealogical Research Society at their Open Day.  My theme was "Finding the Irish in Scotland". Whilst a great many Irish made the long trek west to America in the 19th century and early 20th century, not insignificant numbers also turned east and headed to Scotland, several of my own ancestors amongst them, as the vexillogical representation of my family tree to the left shows.  You may have similar branches in your own tree or perhaps a sibling of an ancestor has disappeared with rumours of going to Scotland.  



​My advice is to spend some time hunting for them as Scottish records are quite simply wonderful with respect to the level of detail recorded.  You may well find details within Scottish records that will help you to get further back in your research in Ireland, especially if you have not uncommon names to wrestle with.  If you would like some advice on where to look and how to understand what you find better, take a look at my latest dish served up under "Foreign Fare" entitled "Settling under the Saltire".
