The Bells were a major family in the Dumfriesshire region of Scotland, and for many centuries, they played an important role in Border matters. This is a history of that family extending over the centuries and emphasizing its role in local and national affairs.

James Steuart's work is an extremely thorough study of the family, working branch by branch, parish by parish, through as many family groups as he could identify in a lifetime of research. In all, he discusses over 29 different branches of the family, all in the county of Dumfries.

There is as well an Index of Persons, which not only provides references to the work but also creates a family tree of sorts, showing the relationship of the referenced names. There is also an Index of Places.

Posted by Frank Bell on 28th Nov 2024

I bought this for the searchable text, but it is unusable. Here is an example from the preface: "A yew words uf explanation are required as to the origin and object
of the following 1.13ZUB. They began with the intention of recording
a pedigree of my material ancestors, the Bells of Chine, oirkhuots
of the Be/la of Crowdieknowe, the his king copies of the ine cription!
in the n.4. 1 phiirchyaril at earrEdthers made by my undo, the late
Mr Richard Bell of Crurie, 'These Irvere supplemented by records of
that noted Local antigillAill, the Late Mr T. J. Carlyle of Waterbeck,
courteously placed at my iliaixisal by his nephew, Mr T. R. Carlyle.
My original purpose was thus Fixparrima."
This is unusable. Not worth the money.
