Russel has correctly pointed out that some of the names in the table above may not be variants of Drysdale and that there are other name origins that may be more appropriate e.g. Twisdale is a better match for Tuisdale than Drysdale.

Hi all,

Perhaps the most definitive work on early Migrants to the United States and Canada in the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries is the book series:

Passenger and Immigration Lists index by William Filby & Mary Keysor Meyer

This book series gives lists of names, dates, places etc and the source references from which the information for each migrant has been obtained. The information has been obtained from passenger ship lists, land records, Patents, rent rolls, Court records and many other diverse sources.

Unfortunately these publications are expensive and are not in the public domain except for a few editions that can be referenced on the Internet Archive.

A list of published editions is detailed below, while editions currently available on the Internet Archive are marked with an asterisk *
