 :*Latter-day Saints. Beginning in about 1840, many Scottish Latter-day Saints emigrated to the United States. Most settled in Utah. For more information, see [[Utah Emigration and Immigration]] and [[Latter-day Saint Online Genealogy Records|Latter-day Saint Online Genealogy Records:Emigration and Immigration]].
-==== British Records of Emigration ====
-To search emigration records effectively, it can help to know the approximate date of emigration, the name of the ship, the type of or reason for emigration, or the emigrant’s previous residence in Scotland. If you know the ship’s name, you might find additional details on the ship, including ports of embarkation and arrival in:

-*Passenger Lists. Port records listing the names of departing or arriving passengers are called passenger lists. Pre-1890 passenger departure lists are rare. Post-1890 lists are arranged chronologically by port of departure. These lists—which usually give the emigrant’s name, age, occupation, address, and sometimes destination—are kept at the Public Record Office, Kew (see [[Scotland Archives and Libraries|Scotland Archives and Libraries)]].
-*Assisted Emigrants Registers. Persons who applied for assistance to emigrate were recorded in assisted emigrants registers, which often contain name, age, occupation, residence, destination, name of sponsor, address of relative, and size of family. Those available at the Family History Library appear in the Locality Search of the catalog under:

 *Probate Records. Probate records may mention relatives who emigrated. Probates of persons who died overseas who owned property in Scotland should have been proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury (until 1858).
-=== Records of Scottish Emigrants in Their Destination Countries  ===
-Since so few British immigration sources exist, you may need to '''search the emigration records of the country your ancestor moved from''' to Scotland. Usually, it is easier to find information about your immigrant ancestor in '''the country he or she immigrated to'''. You may find the emigrant’s name, place of origin, occupation, and age. Knowing an approximate date and port of arrival or ship name will probably help you search immigration records.
-'''Naturalization records''' in the destination country may be an excellent source for determining your ancestor’s place of origin. Search this Wiki for "Naturalization and Citizenship" and the name of the destination country.
-The FamilySearch Catalog lists most of its immigration records in the Locality Search under:
-::[COUNTRY] - EMIGRATION AND IMMIGRATION
-==== Canada  ====
-Scottish people settled in Canada during the early 1800s, but few pre-1865 passenger lists exist. Before 1900, most immigrants arrived at Quebec City and Halifax. The Family History Library has copies of passenger lists from 1865 to 1900. See the [http://files.lib.byu.edu/family-history-library/research-outlines/Canada/Canada.pdf Canada Research Outline] for more information.<br>
