Dallas Morning News
Scotland launches website to help families follow ancestors' footsteps
02/02/2002
Uncle Sam a Scot?
It looks that way.
Samuel Wilson, an inspector of army supplies during the War of 1812, carried
the
nickname "Uncle Sam." Workmen stenciled "U.S." on barrels of provisions
and are
said to have joked that it stood for Mr. Wilson's moniker. The usage spread,
and
"Uncle Sam" quickly became the personification of the federal government.
A
famous World War I military recruitment poster gave him an unforgettable
face.
And Mr. Wilson? His roots were in the heather, organizers of a new website
say.
The national tourism organization VisitScotland, wanting you to visit the
highlands
and lowlands to search for your Scottish kin, has devised www.ancestralscotland.com,
to help you follow in those ancestral footsteps.
Launched Jan. 25, the easy-to-use site allows searching by surname, place
name or
parish. The surname search, for example, provides a list of places where
the name
is found, plus maps. Drill for more about the place, and you're carried
to its tourism
site and information about visiting.
A Scot-out-of-country without any of the search keys can begin researching
them
with a visit to the archives at New Register House in Edinburgh or by accessing
indexes at www.o rigins.net.
All search results at the new website are based on data from the 1881 census.
The
site hopes to provide an online mapping facility soon to enable users to
pinpoint
the Scottish area where their ancestors' parish was, with direct access
to online
genealogical resources and tourism information. Users may register for
e-mail
updates.
With 28 million people worldwide claiming Scots heritage, VisitScotland
(www.visitscotland.com) hopes the website will inspire many to come "home"
for a
vacation or genealogical research.
As sprouts of the Scottish family tree, they're in good company. Other
red-white-and-blue relatives include Samuel Morse, inventor of the Morse
code;
Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee, blue and gray generals in the Civil
War; Neil
Armstrong, the first man on the moon; and computer wizard Bill Gates.
