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,

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.

Recently been told g/mother Elizabeth Hope was left on Church steps in Scotland and brought up by the Dean
In 1947 she was 82 and had been here 80 years or so we are led to believe.
Would dearly love to find answers to our brickwall.Is there any way to check old newspapers?
Thanks Allison

Yours is the first inquiry I've had since "listing" on the web site.
Unfortunately I have no information to share with you concerning your search.
Several months ago I suffered a fatal crash on both of my (linked) computers had have lost ALL of my family history.
I was performing a system back up at the time. If you could direct me to anyone or site that might be willing to share their info I will be most appreciative. None of the six living Hopes that I know of are interested.
I hope all is well with you there in Victoria.

Hi Listers,

Would anyone have any records of the Hope family of Morebattle, Roxburgh?
I am interested in the family and relations of Robert & Joan (nee
Culberston) who had the following children:
James br 1812
Robert br 1812
George br 1814
Isabel br 1817
George and Robert immigrated to Geelong, Vic. Australia.
I am trying to find a connection to this family and my great great
grandfather Richard Hope who died in Geelong in 1894, age 66, thus being
born in 1828, but do not know where. His father is noted as being Richard. I
would like to find if there is a connection to the above family in
Morebattle, since they all lived in Geelong.
Hope some one can help.
Regards
Karen Wykes
