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- [email protected] with the single word subscribe in the message body. To join MS-SCOTS-D (the digest version), do the same thing with the address [email protected] 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.
