Scottish Immigration to America

More than 8.4 million Americans report having Scottish heritage, and most scholars believe the actual number is much larger than this. To help people in their search for Scottish ancestors, Scott -Norrick will present “-Scottish Immigration to America” for the St. Cloud Area Genealogists (SCAG) at 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 21.

Norrick will discuss the -Scottish immigration waves to America, the cultural influences they brought with them and some of the key players in this movement. He also will share resources available to help you research your own Scottish ancestry.

With more than 30 years of experience researching his family history, Norrick now assists others with their family history research through his company Ancestral Past. His areas of expertise include research in the American Midwest along with the immigration to America from Britain, Ireland, and Germanic countries.

This online event will be presented live for viewing remotely or watching with others at the -Stearns History Museum, 235 33rd Ave. S. in St. Cloud. The program is free to SCAG members,
