DOWNLOAD EMIGRANTS LISTING

Researchers wishing to download a complete listing of emigrants containing much more information, such as dates, names of ships and references can do do so by clicking here: download Emigrants Listing. This list was first collated in 2004 and a new list of over 450 individuals is currently in preparation.

This is provided in the form of an Excel spreadsheet and is gathered from information supplied to the author. The file also includes listings of Porteous in Business and Porteous in the Ministry.

Although much care has been taken to check the accuracy of the information contained in the emigrants list, in some cases assumptions have had to be made about precise dates of emigration, and these are indicated by the use of the word 'about' before the year concerned.

The lists have been compiled from information gathered from a variety of sources, much of it supplied in personal correspondence, and from postings on Internet bulletin boards, and their reliability cannot necessarily be fully guaranteed. Family historians are advised to check the accuracy of all names and dates for themselves. Wherever possible, the author will be willing to give further details of sources of information.

Please notify any corrections or omissions to Bruce Porteous at the Porteous Research Project. Any information about the emigration of Porteous/Porteus families (regardless of spelling) will be gratefully received.
