A Dictionary of Scottish Emigrants to Canada Before Confederation
Donald Whyte
These three volumes document thousands of fur traders, explorers, bankers, railway builders, politicians, farmers, teachers and journalists who came to Canada before 1867. Donald Whyte consulted numerous sources, printed and manuscript, and, by extensive correspondence, gathered much information that would not otherwise have been saved for posterity. A must for anyone searching for Scottish ancestors, these volumes also provide a bibliography of genealogical periodicals.

Emigrant's Guide to North America
Robert MacDougall, edited by Elizabeth Thompson "I don't know where else you could find such riches of information and observation, so compactly presented, about this exhilarating and trying time in our past. Or get so fresh a sense of a real man of that time, wit his energy and sweeping opinions and flourishing rhetoric. The translator and the editor have done a splendid job." - Alice Munro
Translated from the Gaelic, this 1841 volume attempted to provide a practical background for Highland Scots coming to Canada.
