No appointment necessary. Letter from our Minister Dear Friends, This summer is being billed as a summer of sport – football tournaments, tennis and of course the Olympics. Being held in London the Olympics are a chance to celebrate not just the prowess and tal- ent of the athletes and competitors, but also show the talents of the many people working together to bring the Olympics to fruition – the organising committee, the transport advisors, the construc- tion workers, even the immigration officers at our airports who expect many, many more visitors than normally come in the summer. Catering for the events – for both the public and the competitors, is also setting new standards, with more fairtrade goods than ever before being used as a matter of course, as well as organic and locally sourced foodstuffs. So whether you have an interest in sport or not, we can celebrate that the games and the world wide focus it will bring are also encouraging better standards in many as- pects of our public and private lives. Britain’s hopes for gold medals in many events seem high – in both the Olympic and Paralympic games. But whatever team you choose to support – if any – you cannot help but be amazed and in- spired by the dedication and talent of swimmers, rowers, runners, shot-putters, cyclists, badminton and tennis players, archers and many more, who have spent years of their young lives working to- ward this moment. Regardless of who wins, we will see sporting talent at its very best – from those who stand on the podium having come first, second or third, to those who come last in the qualifying heat – what dedication has brought them that far, to even make it to the games at all. Isaiah in his prophecy wrote: they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like ea- gles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. However you spend these summer months – watching sport, playing sport, or trying to avoid either watching or playing sport, I hope you feel the inspiring, rejuvenating power of God, renewing your strength, and refreshing your soul. With best wishes, Line Dance News Friends of Corstorphine Hill We have had a very successful year at the Corstorphine Tower will be open every Line Dance Class with lots of new members Sunday from 2pm—4pm until Sunday (particularly to the beginners class) and eve- 30th September. ryone seems to really enjoy themselves at the classes!

By 2011 it had become very apparent that the 1995 edition of the graveyard listing was becoming out of date. There was a variety of reasons for this - The City of Edinburgh Council carried out a survey of the graveyard and laid down all stones which had become unsafe or unstable – ‘vandal damage’ – additional inscriptions to the existing headstones – additional weather erosion and damage etc. There was even a new headstone(s) which had not been recorded as yet. Additionally the current record of the graveyard (The Little Red Book) appeared to be the only copy available to Corstorphine Old Parish Church and as such it was felt to be vulnerable to loss or dam- age. Currently this book has been copied to a computer hard drive to ensure that the content of the Little Red Book will not be lost. (On the contents index page there is a reference made to colours, this is found in the hard copy versions only). In due course all the headstones will be checked for correct details of the inscriptions and the text content. All changes and corrections found will be updated, and as this update proceeds the records will be reprinted, regularly, to keep it accurate and up to date. We wish to continue the interest in the Corstorphine Old Parish Church Graveyard and bring up to date the locally held records, and eventually make them searchable online.

    THE MYTHOLOGY, TRADITIONS and HISTORY OF MacDHUBHSITH ― MacDUFFIE CLAN (McAfie, McDuffie, MacFie, MacPhee, Duffy, etc.) VOLUME 2 THE LANDS OF OUR FATHERS PART 2 Earle Douglas MacPhee (1894 - 1982) M.M., M.A., M.Educ., LL.D., D.U.C., D.C.L. Emeritus Dean University of British Columbia This 2009 electronic edition Volume 2 is a scan of the 1975 Volume VII. Dr. MacPhee created Volume VII when he added supplemental data and errata to the original 1792 Volume II. This electronic edition has been amended for the errata noted by Dr. MacPhee. - i - THE LIVES OF OUR FATHERS PREFACE TO VOLUME II In Volume I the author has established the surnames of most of our Clan and has proposed the sources of the peculiar name by which our Gaelic compatriots defined us. In this examination we have examined alternate progenitors of the family. Any reader of Scottish history realizes that Highlanders like to move and like to set up small groups of people in which they can become heads of families or chieftains. This was true in Colonsay and there were almost a dozen areas in Scotland where the clansman and his children regard one of these as 'home'. The writer has tried to define the nature of these homes, and to study their growth. It will take some years to organize comparative material and we have indicated in Chapter III the areas which should require research. In Chapter IV the writer has prepared a list of possible chiefs of the clan over a thousand years. The books on our Clan give very little information on these chiefs but the writer has recorded some probable comments on his chiefship.

  • Foster History
    Foster History A compilation of information extracted from published research about Foster ancestors. Various researchers published works on Foster ancestors, some credible some not. This paper endeavors to iterate the significant, along with some interesting portions from a number of those works in a more condensed version for those not inclined to study this subject in depth. My objective is to impart knowledge about people who lived in the past named Foster, and may be ancestors, for entertainment or as a primer to subsequent generations if they endeavor to take up the quest. Foster families unlikely to be connected to the Irving family are mentioned only in passing or omitted. I include some material to explain terms and historical facts for context that other authors assumed the reader had prior knowledge. Some researchers make assumptions they shouldn't; my approach is to point out possible disconnects or questionable assumptions as indicators to where additional research is necessary. To help the flow of the story some material is set aside into Appendices. Numerous hyper-links to source information found on the Internet are included. The links were valid when this report was authored, but websites, addresses and pages change, so some links my no longer be valid. I refer the reader to the original texts authored by professional historians and researchers for information in their own words (see bibliography). I recommend you read this paper on a computer connected to the Internet to avail use of embedded links to referenced material. It might also help if you have a map of England and Scotland available if you are not familiar with the geography of the United Kingdom.

    ********************************************************************************* GENEALOGISTS FOR THE SCOTTISH CLANS by Robert D. McLaren 7810 Kincardine Court Alexandria, VA 22315-4025 (703) 971-6924 [email protected] 8 April 2000 Version 2000-3 © Copyright 2000 Robert D. McLaren The following list is a compilation of Clan Genealogists or Clan points of contact for genealogy (for the Scottish Clans and Family Associations). The amount of information available from these genealogists varies greatly, with some having extensive records. For example, the clan genealogist for Clan Scott maintains a database of all SCOTTs and is a coordinator of the SCOTT One Name Society. He has about 53,000 records on file dealing with more than 2,000 family lines. The clan genealogist/historian for Clan Barclay also is a coordinator for the BARCLAY One Name Society. She has about 19,000 BARCLAY/BARKLEY and collateral names on file dealing with 125 family lines. The Clan Morrison historian has a 6,000-name database of MORRISON families in the U.S. and Canada. Some clans have genealogy committees. When I learn about them I will include committee members in this listing. Some of these members only cover one or a few states. In these cases, I note the states that particular member covers. Also, some clan genealogists specialize in one surname of a clan. Clan MacKay, for example, has many surname genealogists. I am listing these surnames under the parent clan with a note (i.e., See also Mackie). The actual genealogist and his/her address will be listed under the surname (i.e., Mackie). For some clans, more than one society exists.

Preface In this list cadet, associated, and stem families are arranged in a single entry when substantial property passed between one and the other providing continuity of parliamentary representation (even, as was the case in a few instances, when no blood or marriage relationship existed). Subsidiary/cadet families are usually grouped under the oldest, richest, or most influential stem family. Female MPs are counted with their birth families, or, if not born into a parliamentary family, with their husband’s family.
