Book excerpt: This book identifies people resident in the adjacent counties of Perthshire and Kinross-shire, as well as people abroad who originated there, between 1800-1850. The two counties now form a unitary administrative unit, known as Perth and Kinross, centered on the city of Perth. The information found in this work is derived from a wide range of archival sources such as court records, contemporary newspapers and journals, monumental inscriptions, and other documents. The entries connect emigrants and their destinations--especially in North America, the West Indies, and Australasia--with their kin who remained on Scotland.
