Scottish-American Military Society - SAMS
Location: United States
Surnames/tags: Scottish Military SAMS
Goals for this page: 1) Provide sources, resources, and links to assist members of SAMS in enhancing their knowledge of the Society; 2) research military history around the world, but especially Scottish-American military history; and, 3) assist SAMS members who celebrate their Scottish heritage and research their genealogy.
The SAMS website has a wealth of information about the Society. At this writing, there is news that a new, updated website is ready but, in the meantime, these links will provide the information you need. The pages listed below are the most useful, especially to new SAMS members, although there are other special interest links available from the home page that may be of value to the reader.
