In 180 and 1821, a group of several thousand Scottish people moved to the New Lanark Settlement in Ontario, under the auspices of the British government. In this book, author Carol Bennett outlines the conditions which existed in Scotland at that time, the way in which this group emigration was handles and what the people found when they arrived in Canada. Includes individual families, with all available information about the ships they traveled on, place of origin, location in Lanark County, and names of family members. This book, intended as a handbook for the genealogist, is a companion volume to Peter Robinson's Settlers, by the same author.
