Scottish Information Society request and information

confido@ix.netcom.com — 2006-03-22T09:24:46-06:00

Dear Clan Representatives:

The Scottish Information Society (SIS), formed 1987, is comprised of and exists
in support of those who volunteer their time at the clan tents, working events at
various venues. One member delegate from each Clan, House or Scottish Society is
invited to join to represent their officially recognized clan/society organization.

We are in the process of revamping our web site http://www.scottishinfo.org It
is currently off line, however, it is our hope to have it back up and functional
before the end of April. We hope to include many helpful elements for the public
to view. Currently one of the major projects in process is a comprehensive games
listing for all 50 US states. In future, we hope to be able to add an International
games listing.

I would appreciate it if you would email me directly at confido@ix.netcom.com with:

the most current contact information for your Clan, especially:

the name of your Chief

the names and contact information for those that convene your tents or are area
commissioners

the name and contact information for your genealogist(s)

the name and contact information for your clan historian(s)

the name and contact information for your editor(s)

the name of your clan newsletter and frequency of publication

the URL/information re your clan's official discussion group... is it this list
at Rootsweb? or is it different?

the name and contact information for whoever may be in charge of your DNA project

the URL for your clan's OFFICIALLY sanctioned website -- sorry no personal or non-sanctioned
sites can be linked

Additonally, SIS, will have a tent at the upcoming Sacramento Valley (California)
Caledonia Club Games, in Woodland, California, at the end of April. If you will
send some information regarding your clan, we will be pleased to have it on hand,
whether or not your representative is able to attend and host a tent at the event.

We would also appreciate your mailing a copy or copies of your newsletter, in order
that we may share with the public part of what your clan has to offer to its members.

If you manage, sponsor or sanction DNA projects for your clan, please mail information
regarding the project(s) and we will make it available at the tent for those interested.

Also, for those of you interested, there is a Scot DNA project that all Scots and
Scot Clans are welcome to join or share DNA results with, no matter which service
you used. John Hansen is the Project Manager. You will find more information about
this project at http://www.scottishdna.net and also in the Scot-DNA@rootsweb.com
list archives. Details re that list will be found here: http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/intl/SCT/SCOT-DNA.html

Write me off list and I will provide the postal mailing addresss for receipt of
your printed materials.

Thank you. And thanks to all of your volunteers which give so generously and unselfishly
of their time to share with and educate the public about your Clan's history and
that of Scotland. It is they who keep the tradtions alive.

Suas Alba!

Yours Aye,

Lauren M. Boyd, FSA Scot

.........................................................

NB. I add this bit of information due to the responses I received
in my first round of posting:

This message is not misdirected, but rather has been sent to
all the clan lists at Rootsweb in attempt to most expediently
reach those involved with and representing their Scottish clan
in some official capacity. You have received it as you are
subscribed to at least one of them.

Please understand that due to the shear magnitude of the number
of recipients, I cannot respond to friendly notes that include
genealogical information and queries that may be triggered by
my post. Please do post to the list and also consider joining
and becoming active in your Scottish clan's organization.

Sorry! I was wrong

Forget it and forgive me - I thought it was a Galloway district list - SKS
is a short form for 'some kind soul' anyway-it is used normally on the
lists. Lilian

Hi list,
Since I haven�t had any reply so far to my query I would try again reposting my message if you do not mind. I'd need SKS who could make a look up for the 1841 census for the following family:

JAMES HEGARTY/HAGGERTY - born in Ireland- 1807
HELEN/ELLEN MORRIS KEENAN - born 1809 - (either in Ireland or in Galloway)
children (STEPHEN b. 1835- TERESA b. 1839- JAMES b. 1840)

My ancestors lived at one point in KIRKCUDBRIDGE and in Edinburgh but I know they were married in Glasgow on 05/05/1833.
Hope I will be luckier this time.
I will appreciate your help so much........
Gratefully
LILIAN

Hi list
Here I'm posting my interest. I need SKS who can send me off list the 1841 census returns for GALLOWAY for HELEN/ELLEN HEGARTY/HAGGERTY/HAGARTY , nee Keenan- born 1809
JAMES " " " born 1807- Ireland and
children (Stephen, Ellen, Teresa, James, etc)

After finding out my family HEGARTY/HAGARTY/ HAGGERTY on the 1851/1861/1871 census for Liverpool I have learnt they were living in Scotland by before 1851. I know Galloway is an ancient district consisting of the counties of Kirkcudbright and Wigtown. The Keenans moved from Ireland to Kirkcudbright. And Helen Keenan married James Haggerty/Hegarty of Londonderry, in Glasgow in 1833. James was a pawnbroker when he lived in Liverpool.
Please I need this image badly. I was never lucky finding ancestors in Scotland.
I will appreciate any assistance.Thank you in anticipation
Looking forward anxiously......

Thank you, we'll keep looking. Our Galloways seem to have lived in
Barony-Lanarkshire for generations, until my husband's grandfather
moved to Montreal and then to Toronto, Canada. Regards, Gabriela
Novak-Galloway, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Well, I've lived in North Yorkshire all my life, (63), but my Dad came from
Stockton on Tees, in Durham...his Dad was born in Durham City..his parents,
for the moment, are listed as 'Scotland's ! The folk lore in the family
mentions Fife area, maybe Kirkaldy, but not sure, YET. Cheers; Peter

Any Galloways from around Coatbridge, Springburn - Dunbarton or Cadder
in Lanarkshire, Barony?

We are looking for possible living relatives, as we have very little
information in our Galloway line.
