Dundee Irish...

Post by Angusfifer » Sun Jul 13, 2008 8:14 pm

Anyone any idea how they got to Dundee?
I'm assuming that the textile industry was the draw. What I am not clear about is how this was advertised and by which means of transport our ancestors reached Dundee... :?:
Fitzpatrick (Ireland to Dundee)
McKelvie (Ireland to Dundee)
Mill (Fife to Dundee)
Cruden (Angus)
Campbell (Dunbartonshire to Dundee)
Lawrie (Peebles)
