researchers on this list. Good luck & enjoy the website.

ElectricScotand.com has been on the go for ten years and is all about
the history of Scotland, Scots, Scots-Irish, and people and places of
Scottish descent around the world.
The site is quite international having been created in Scotland,
hosted in Kentucky, and operated from Canada.
I am the owner of the site and I mostly scan in antiquarian books
using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology. You can see the
list of some 150 publications, some of which are multi-volume sets, at
http://www.electricscotland.com/history/books.htm.
In the header you'll find the Google search engine, which you can use
to search ElectricScotland.com and find any references to names on the
site. There are loads of names mentioned in the historical texts, and
ElectricScotland.com also has a complete section on Scottish and Irish
clan and family histories.
ElectricScotland.com has the three-volume "Domestic Annals of
Scotland" from 1561 to 1748 and is currently publishing "The Scottish
Nation," which is a biographical history of Scotland. You'll also find
the multi-volume "Biographical Dictionary of Eminent Scotsmen." In
addition to this you'll find major publications dealing with Scots in
Germany, Poland, Russia, Sweden, Prussia, Spain, France, Australia,
New Zealand, Argentina, America, and Canada, to name just a few. I
have also published the first four volumes of the Scotch-Irish Society
of America (about 1890,) which has lists of members--some of which
include brief bios.
Over the years many individuals have sent in bios of their own family
as well as historical articles and many clan societies have submitted
their newsletters to be archived on the site.
I have arranged to leave this site to the Scottish Studies Foundation
of Toronto, a Canadian Charity, so that all the content will be
preserved for future generations.
So do visit ElectricScotland.com and enjoy an exploration of the
wealth of historical material on the site:
