Whilst not intended to be an exhaustive account of the many who emigrated from the Province of Ulster, this work by David Hume reflects the many and varied experiences of the men, women and children who made long journeys to other parts of the world. Many of the emigrants came from an Ulster Scots/Scotch Irish background and, importantly whilst recognising the contribution that those individuals made to the development of the areas in which they settled, particularly North America, Australia and New Zealand, David Hume hasn't overlooked those from other backgrounds who also left these shores and contributed to developments in many areas.
