This is the story of James Grant and Isabella Masson who in 1838 migrated from their Scottish homeland with their children to the new colony of South Australia aboard the "Platina".
It traces their ancestors back to the earliest Scottish baptism records and then forward a further three generations through life in colonial South Australia up until the mid 1900s.
Family names include Grant, Ross, Stuart, Masson, McBeth, Duncan, Miller, Elgin, Davidson, Bremner, Ival, Carrach, Burnett, Walsh, Eldridge, Cosh, Halliday and Knight.
The book includes many maps, family charts, photographs, transcriptions of parish records and copies of other records and documentation.
It also provides a great insight into the social history of the times covered, particularly in South Australia, where the Grant family often found themselves and their activities reported in the local newspapers.
