The freedom of the North American colonies was enticing, and many Scots left to make the great crossing. It was a long and hard journey, but its reward was a place where there was more land than people and tolerance was far easier to come by.

A search of immigration and passenger lists revealed many important and early immigrants to North America bearing the name of Carl:
