Sergeant David Scott and Sarah Jean Dalgity were married in Forfar , Angus, Scotland in 1795 and stationed by the British Artillery in Halifax, Nova Scotia sometime between 1800 and 1803. A Family from Forfar is the story of their family lines over ten generations, and is a continuing project. A Pictorial Index is a quick reference to visual materials and our Index of Biographies and Obituaries along with a Correspondence Index provide access to source materials. A draft genealogical chart and an explanation of the major family branches and lines is also available as well as maps of family locations throughout North America. A 200th anniversary in the year 2000 reconnected the two founding branches of the family that had lost contact a century ago.
Mysteries are topics needing research.
An anniversary card features a poetic approach to family history called Found our First Family along with the digital restoration of ancestral images . The discovery of a collection of 300 family photographs in March 2001 is told through Treasures of the Secret Drawer. The arrival of a headstone for Serg David Scott's unmarked grave in 2001 was a long awaited event. The web version of Forfar Family News - our electronic newsletter is also available. Homeport is pleased to host biographies, pictures and links to their work.
