Our Robertsons was a special project to record the hundreds of descendants around the world who had a unique and very special ancestral distinction. They were descendants of one or both of two brothers who appeared in the Shetland Islands, to the north of mainland Scotland, in the eighteenth century. Those brothers, who lived and raised families in Shetland some two and a half centuries ago, were named Thomas and John Robertson.This book is the culmination of efforts by many family members in Shetland, elsewhere in the British Isles, in New Zealand, Australia, and America, to find and tell the stories of these two Robertson brothers in Shetland and of their progeny around the world for six generations and beyond.
