Socfel.2F 1113 CLOO bOrJD02f socfel.2f 1113 MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF Greetings to all members of the Clan Hannay Society, and particularly to our newest branches - the Ho~eye Chapter in Oaklahoma, Convener Jay Hannah, and the Canadian Branch based in Gibson, British Columbia, Convener Michael Hannah. We look forward to seeing many clansmen and clanswomen from overseas at our gathering at Sorbie on May 28th 1994. They can be assured of a great welcome. The repair and maintenance of our ancestral home Sorbie Tower is our constant concern. Last year we received a grant from Galloway Ground base, and some Qenerous gifts from members of the Society, so were able to get a lot of work done. Each year we try to do some building up e.g. re-constructing arches and replacing sandstone window surrounds, also some general maintenance e.g. pointing stonewol1<, removing ivy, and keeping the grounds in trim. It is an ongoing process and only the Clan itself can keep the old place in reasonable shape, and gradually build it back up. We wish to make a special effort in 1994. We ask for your help. REPORT OF THE 30TH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF THE CLAN HANNAY SOCIETY HELD AT 21,CASTLE STREET, EDINBURGH ON SATURDAY 23RD OCTOBER 1993 AT 3.30PM The meeting was opened by Patrick A Playfair- Hannay of Kingsmuir (Vice-Convener of the Clan Hannay Society) who intimated that the Chief was unable to attend and had asked him to chair the meeting. He welcomed all present. OBITUARIES The death of Peter Hannah Main of Glasgow in 1992 was noted with regret He was a long standing member of the Society whose clan membership number was 39. THE MINUTES The minu1es of the Annual Genera; Meeting held in October 1992, already circulated to clan members 1n the Newsletter, were approved and duly signed by the Chairman. There were no matters arising The Chairman read out the Convener's Report which he had received from Maj. Ramsay R. Hannay as follows: 'My apologies for not being able to be with you today, but my wife has not been well, and I am unable to leave her. Many thanks to Patrick for chairing the meeting. The Clan's participation in the Drumlanrig Gathering organized by 'Roots 93' on May 23rd 1993 was most enjoyable, and I am grateful to Dorothea and Evelyn for manning the Clan Tent, and to Douglas Hannah for the time he spent attending meetings of "Roots 93' and keeping us Informed. The Sorbie Gathering on May 29th 1993 was a very successful occasion. An excellent lunch at Castle Wigg Hotel, and ending with a very enjoyable tea at Kirkdale. Many thanks to Evelyn for her organization of the day and to Russell Hannah for transporting the Edinburgh contingent. A new branch of the Clan is being founded in Canada by Sgt. Michael Hannah of Gibson, British Columbia, who has just retired from the Canadian Army. He has the backing of Maj. Gen. James Hanna of Ontario, also retired, and at one time in command of the Canadian Forces attached to NATO. Sgt. Hannah asked me formally for permission to start a Canadian Branch, which I gave him, and at the same time asked him to keep in touch. Another branch of the Clan was founded in 1990 in the State of Oklahoma by Jay Hannah who was president of the First National Bank of Oklahoma He and his wife visited us in 1988. He has the backing of Rev. James Hanna. the USA National Convener. Since the early Hannays settled in what was known as the Hogeye Community, this branch is calling themselves the "Hogeye Chapter of the Clan Hannah!' Some of their members are from the neighbouring state of Arkansas. Mr & Mrs Jones from Tennessee who were at the Sorbie Gathering in 1992 also attend their gatherings. Miss Althea Hannay, who is the daughter of the Rev. Canon Hannay - better known in his day as the author 'George Birmingham' -tells me that one of her father's books, either 'General George Regan' or 'Spanish Gold' may be produced by an Irish company for showing on T.V. Lady Kinahan from Country Antrim is writing his biography. I hope you have a constructive meeting.' Signed Ramsay W.R.

It represents an intensive study, interrupted by World Wars I and II and now since my retirement from the Army, it has been full time. In my first book there were three points of dispair, all of which have now been resolved. (I) The name of the vessel in which Andrew Hannay came to America. (2) Locating the de­ scendants of the first son James and (3) The names of Andrew's forbears. It contained a record of Andrew Hannay and his de­ scendants, and information on the various branches in Scotland as found in the publications of the "Scottish Records Society", "Whose Who", "Burk's" and other authorities such as could be located in various libraries. Also brief records of several families of the name that we could not at that time identify. Since then there have been published two books on the family.

    ********************************************************************************* 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.

  • THE CLAN HANNAY SOCIETY NEWSLETTER-2017 Created Exclusively for Clan Hannay Society Members - Issue 18 - November 2017
    THE CLAN HANNAY SOCIETY NEWSLETTER-2017 Created exclusively for Clan Hannay Society Members - Issue 18 - November 2017 2017 An Exciting Year for Clan Hannay Chief’s Message This year has been busy with a visit to New York during Tartan Week in April, to raise funds for the restoration of Sorbie Tower. In August, Scottish clans were represented at the Edinburgh Tattoo with two or three clans at each performance. Clan Hannay led by the Chief, paraded with the MacGregors and Buchanans, while Edinburgh castle was illuminated with the clan tartans. In September, the Convenor organised three ‘Mostly Ghostly’ evenings at the tower during the Wigtown Book Festival. The tower and grounds were illuminated, while stories were told and proved very popular. In November, the tower was decorated with a cascade of poppies to commemorate Remembrance Sunday. Sorbie Tower is being well used and has many visitors. We hope to see you there and that you will contribute to its restoration for future generations. David R Hannay, Clan Chief Tartan Day Parade, New York City The Clan Hannay New York reception and Tartan Day Parade were special not just because I got to see my Scottish cousins, but also because I got to meet my first cousins Beverly Hanna Charles and Cindy Hanna Todd. Our fathers were very close in age, but because they grew up in Massachusetts and I grew up in southern California, we had not spent time together. From the moment we met, I felt like I’ve known them all my life. We thought it was too bad we couldn’t have shared the experience with our dads.

  • 39353 Clan Hannay Newsletter 13.Indd
    1 Th Message from the Chief This year I attended a memorial service year on behalf of the Clan at St Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh, to commemorate the five hundredth anniversary of the battle of Flodden and to celebrate 500 years of the Scottish Soldier. At Flodden in Northumberland, the invading army of James 1V was defeated by the army of Henry V111 under the Earl of Surrey. James 1V was killed, as were many of the leading men in Scotland, including Donald Hannay of Sorbie who was the grandfather of the poet Patrick Hannay of Kirkdale. In the 18th century, the Hannays are described as “A family which has dealt many blows in times of war from Flodden field to the Gates of Rhodes, and for some such service bore heraldic device of a crescent and a fitched cross”. This was the origin of the clan crest. During the year, the clan had a tent at the Lowland Gathering in Stranraer, which had restarted as a pipe band competition. It is 24 years since the Scottish and British championships were held in Stranraer. As part of the feasibility study for restoring Sorbie Tower, a Conservation Management Plan has been prepared and a Condition Survey of the building has been carried out. This year was also our fiftieth wedding anniversary, which we celebrated with a weekend away with the family, numbering 16 in all, including eight grandchildren. David R. Hannay. Oct. 2013 2 The Clan Hannay Society - The Objects for which the Society was formed are:- • To promote and strengthen a mutual interest and fellowship throughout the world between all persons bearing the family name of Hannay, Hannah, Hanna or Hanney and their relatives.
