This is an index of sept names from a book
published in 1995 entitled "A Dictionary of Scottish Emigrants
to Canada before Confederation, Volume 2”, by Donald Whyte.
This book is a limited index of Scottish emigrants who arrived
before 1867.
For some of the emigrants
more research may be needed in order to claim an association
with the Clan MacThomas. It is recommended that, if possible,
any entry of interest be checked with the entry in Whyte’s
book.
Spouses and children have their own entry on
occasions, as well as being listed as husband/wife and their
children. Additional information may be found on web sites
such as "world connect". Please appreciate that some errors
could have been made whilst extracting the
