Scots and Scots' Descendants in AmericaThis Scottish "Who was Who" features detailed, illustrated biographies of prominent Scottish-Americans living at the turn of this century. Each biography identifies the subject's place and date of birth, names of parents, date married, name of spouse(s), and names of offspring--thus linking the subject to two other generations and, usually, to his Scottish origins. |
