Dempster References

The purpose of this document is to form an index of books and other sources searched and checked for information relating to the family of Dempster. Apart from this starting section, the document follows a standard layout consisting of two columns. The column to the left lists the works of reference and that to the right gives detail of the Dempster referred to and the page (or document) number.

Where only a first name is given it can be assumed that the surname concerned was Dempster. If the book has been consulted and no references to the family occur, then the second column entry will be "No Information". If the second column entry is completely blank, then the work has not yet been consulted and has been included as an aide memoire of works worth looking at.

The general layout of the first column is as follows - TITLE - Author, Editor or Periodical, Place of Publication, Date of Publication. If the work is part of a miscellaneous volume or a periodical article then it is listed as TITLE, Author in TITLE (of Periodical or Volume).

In the second column (w) after an entry means that the person’s only appearance is as witness to a document.

Remember - just because a reference work appears here does not mean that it is accurate. Many of those listed are not, particularly those which are attempting to cover a large geographical area. The worst of these (as far as Dempsters go)is probably Temple's "Thanage of Fermartyn" which confuses the Careston and Auchterless families over several generations.
