Hi All,

If you come across any websites or sources that have helped you and are of particular use to the Dumfriesshire researcher then please post them here.

I've merged a few gems found by Rootschat as a starter.

Good Searching,
Pam

Emmigration

Snow Lovely Nelly 1774 & 1775
http://www.rootsweb.com/~pictou/lnell1.htm

Quote
The Lovely Nelly was a Snow class ship built in 1762 at Chepston, South Wales for Captain John Walker and Company, and registered at Whitehaven, England. This ship made two sailings carrying emigrants from the GALLOWAY area of Southern Scotland to Prince Edward Island.

Here's an interesting collection of indexes...

http://users.quista.net/jameswilliams/Wood_Maps.htm

Quote
The personal-name and placenames data from the Dumfriesshire and Galloway John Wood Maps (Dumfries & Maxwelltown, 1819; Annan, 1826; Kirkcudbright, 1843 and Stranraer, 1843) have been recorded within an Access database. Extracts of personal and place-names for the five towns are provided below.

I found this through the Friends of the Archives website at:-
http://www.dgarchives.fsnet.co.uk/purpose.htm

Who have newsletters which contain some of the more colourful snippets from their transcription projects.

Happy Hunting,
Pam
