| My Carmichael and McCormick ancestors immigrated to the United States in the 1700's, from the Isle of Lismore, Appin, Argyll, Scotland. They were the first families I researched after becoming interested in genealogy. Although I've researched many other family lines since that time - Irish, English, Welsh and Swiss - these Scottish families and their home in the Highlands hold an especially dear place in my heart. I hope some of the genealogy websites represented by the links below will help in the search for your Scottish roots and the history sites will give you a better understanding of the lives your ancestors left behind. The links are in no particular order. As far as I know, except where noted, all of these websites are free and available without subscription. If you run across a link that's no longer working, I'd appreciate a quick note to let me know. Nancy Brister |
