    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.

Twelve years ago I published a paper in Icelandic1 where I pointed out that the one thing that everybody knows about Laxdæla Saga, Guðrún Ósvífursdóttir’s famous reply to her son “To him I was worst whom I loved most”, appears to echo a line of the well-known Irish poem sometimes known as Líadan’s Lament, an ro carus ro cráidius, ‘whom I loved I harmed.’ Its many Irish connections are a prominent feature of Laxdæla saga, but for some curious reason no one as far as I know had chanced on this correspondence before my essay.2,3 The Líadan poem has been dated as 9th century, and seems to have had some currency in Ireland;4 and there were, as we shall see, Irish speakers in Guðrún’s neighbourhood, so this is not as outrageous as it sounds. 1 The phonetically driven oxymoron Let us examine this correspondence before going any further. 1 Pétur Knútsson, „Þeim var ek verst: Líadan og Cuirithir í Laxdælu.“ Ritið.

This first wave of emigration is regarded as a formative one for the city of Québec and its environs, and is to be distinguished from the second and catastrophic wave that occurred during and after the years of the Great Famine. In the words of the late Marianna O'Gallagher, historian of the Irish in Québec City: ‘it was the immigrants from the 1820s and earlier, and not those of the late 1840s, who founded the Québec community’.1 At the time, and for a long time afterwards, emigration to Québec and New Brunswick was encouraged by the fact that, due mainly to the timber trade, these were among the cheapest passages of all destinations in North America.2 For this reason, the region was used by many as a gateway to the United States.3 From the archives of the city and province – a significant and largely untapped source for Irish studies – and from the history of the manuscript described here, it is also clear that a great many Irish stayed and made their homes in Québec City and in the surrounding territories.
