Lindsay Immigrants to ScotlandThis section will be used to list the Lindsay emigrants that departed other places and became immigrants of Scotland. There are those who will think this category is a mistake, but there were actually Lindsays who possibly first emigrated from Scotland to other parts of the world and then after several generations immigrated back to Scotland from places such as Northern Ireland. Of course there was also the first Lindsay who came from possibly Flanders to Scotland in the late 11th century or early 12th century. For the sake of simplicity, we have established that the use of the italicized Lindsay surname, throughout this web site, implies all the accepted spellings of the surname found in the site Orthography section. If any Lindsay researcher has documentation to support the name (s) of any Lindsay immigrant to Scotland and would like to share this information, e-mail ronlindsay@comcast.net with the details. For each immigrant we will need to know the name (s) of the Lindsay passenger (s) as listed on the ship's manifest, name of the ship, the dates and ports of departure and arrival, the name of the ship's captain and the primary source for this data along with the Internet location, if there is one, where this information was found. The format for this Scottish immigrant section will change a bit from the usual format of naming the emigrant ship, etc. In the case of most Northern Irish emigrants to Scotland, no ocean-going emigrant ship was involved thus no need for the usual Ship, departure port and date. etc. Due to this lack of documentary information, much of what you see on this page will be based on family accounts, some published and some handed down through a family. ***************************************** |
