Hi Listers, Here's a link to all of Dobson's works and his email. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/dobson.genealogy/ There is "Scots in the West Indies, 1707-1857." Dobson as you will see has numerous books on Scots Emigrants to America even by County and Occupation. There is another one by Barbara Hanbury called: "An Index of Scots Immigrants from Galloway who died in England or the West Indies. (Scottish Genealogical Society, 1998) Both Booklets are A-Z Listing of names with other genealogical data. I must say that I could not find any Scots for Demerara or any part of British Guiana, in Dobson's book, but I did find several in Hanbury's, just from Galloway. I suspect that maybe Dobson did not consider B.G as part of the West Indies. You should not be daunted by the number of Books on Dobsons list. These are really Booklets. For any-one who thinks that their ancestors might have gone from Scotland to America, or from there to the West Indies, but do not know from where, these are the ones to check if you have a library that carries most or all of them. And since there were lots of Scots in the British Army, and if you think your ancestor might have been in the British Army, from 1772-1899, you can look in, Norman Crowther - British Army Pensioners Abroad,(1995), Genealogical Publishing Co. If you want to understand how some of the Scots ended up in America and the West Indies after 1740, and enjoy social historical reading, here are two books that you will enjoy. Both are by John Prebble: (1) The Highland Clearances and (2) Culloden. Cheers! Richard
