• The origins of the Keltons in England and Scotland and a drawing of the Kelton crest.

• Migratory patterns of Keltons in the United States

• The Keltons are a stereotypical family whose "stock and ethos of Texans came largely from the British Isles . . . [but] Texan consciousness was made primarily in America" as found in The Seven Keys to Texas by T.R. Fehrenbach.

• The real and imagined Scotland in exerpts from Scotland: An Intimate Portrait by Geddes MacGregor.

• The heritage of the Irish migration, similar to that of the Scots, is as described in a speech by the former president of Ireland about Cherishing the Irish Diaspora.
