In this volume Mr. Dobson introduces the researcher to little-known source materials--the Services of Heirs and the Register of Testaments of the Commissariat of Edinburgh. From the Services of Heirs he extracted all references to North American residents who inherited land in Scotland, and also to Americans who left land in Scotland. From the Register of Testaments he provided abstracts of the testaments of all North American residents who chose to have their wills registered in Edinburgh. All of this data serves to confirm a relationship between the inheritor and his ancestor.

Not totally worthless but it does make a good go of it. One could write a book that contains all of the information contained within this book and do little moe than put in an index and my review would go up a star, maybe. I would recommend Bruce Durie's book,m"Scottish Genealogy" to be purchased prior or in place of this book. That having been said, if your resources are limited, look elsewhere, Ancestry.com has all of the content on its site.

Great resource

I was very disappointed in this book. As a genealogist I found it very incomplete. I know of other families that are documented here in that time period that are not included, including the Templeton line I am researching. I have gone to several family message boards to let them know they are not included and advised them to save their money!

I needed this document in hard copy for my archives. The binding is good and the pages readable. A satisfactory transaction.

A limited source due to records being maintained for those emigrating from Scotland. The ships listed were from only a small number of ports to many ports in America.
