Several members did not approve of her activities, but feared her enough to maintain thejr si­ lence. She made a mistake when she accused, George, a new church member, of being an alcoholic af­ ter seeing his old pickup parked in front of the towns only bar one afternoon. She emphatically told George, and several others, that seeing it there, people would know what he was doing. George, a man of few words, stared at her for a moment then turned and walked away. He didn't explain, defend, or deny, he said nothing. Later that evening, George, quietly parked his pickup in front of Martha's house, Later he walked home and left it there for a couple days. You had to love George, as the other church members got a good chuckle out of it. AGNEtfS IN ACTION Do you have a loved one serving in our armed forces in combat?

The article was about a new technology using DNA testing and genealogical research. Agnew Association DNA testing could help us determine our relationships AND make an impact at the Gathering of the Clans in 2009. Because it will take time and a bit of effort, it is not too soon to consider it. Many other family groups have projects well under way. I believe we would be missing a won­ derful opportunity to learn not only about our American connections, but our Scottish and Irish connections as well. The lost article follows: DNA and Missing Links I have discovered a research project which uses DNA testing in combination with geneal­ ogy to get past brick walls. This program could aid us with research on our Agnew lines. Best of all, it is FREE to participate. A test kit requires swishing one's mouth and provid­ ing a brief pedigree. Both men and women can participate, but it is only through males with the Agnew surname taking a Y-DNA test that it is possible to determine recent an­ cestors. Women can take the mt-DNA test which shows "deep" ancestry (ancient migra­ tions). Please take a look at the site and consider participating or encourage males in your family with the Agnew surname to participate. Overseas relatives can join us simply by paying the postage. http://www.smgf.org For more information on the use of DNA in genealogy you might want check the following links: http://www.thegeneticgenealogist.com http://www.rootstelevision.com/ DNA testing and people who have used it http://www.familvtreedna.com/dnal01.html Surname video and Tutorials Please give this some serious consideration. Let's tear down our brick walls and have something significant to offer at the International Gathering of the Clans. Barbara Agnew Miers [email protected] P.S. There is an Agnew surname project at Family Tree DNA which, at present, is very small and costs $189.00 plus shipping for a 37 marker test. It is possible for anyone who has used this service to enter data from that project into the SMGF database. The beauty of the SMGF project is that cost is not a factor in participation. Page 3 Stephanie: Greetings from Sam and Salley Agnew in Tupelo, Mississippi. Thank you for the work you are doing for the Agnewsletter. Many of the Agnew Association members are aware of the portrait Lady Agnew of Lochnaw, painted by John Singer Sargent. The oil on canvas portrait hangs in the National Galleries of Scotland in Edinburgh. When Salley and I were on our honeymoon in Scotland this past September, we made sure that we saw this portrait. While there we discovered that the gift shop at the National Galleries of Scotland carries jewelry inspired by the portrait. The insert with the jewelry states, "This elegant jewelry set with amethyst and turquoise was in­ spired by the pendant worn by society beauty, Gertrude, Lady Agnew of Lochnaw. This specially commis­ sioned jewelry is by the designer Paula Bolton who is renowned for her work with many leading museums worldwide." The gift shop carries pendants, earrings, and rings inspired by Lady Agnew. The pendant is al­ most 2 inches in length. John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) Lady Agnew of Lochnaw (1865-1932) Oil on canvas - 127 101 cm, purchased with the aid of the Cowan Smith Bequest Fund 1925 I can provide a larger photo with high quality if needed. Sam Agnew, Tupelo,Mississippi Page 4 VOLUME XV, ISSUE 1 — MAY 2008 THE AGNEWSLETTER Stephanie, Thank you for publishing the Modified Register for Samuel Andrew Agnew in the February 2008 issue of The Agnewsletter. Listed on page 13 as number 76 is Rutherford Todd Agnew, my grandfather. I have additional information that was not included on the register. Is there a way to upload this additional information to a reg­ ister you have? Thank you, Sam Agnew Tupelo, Mississippi Reply to Sam, and all others: To add any information to the register, just send us what you have, And we will gladly do it Stephanie, Editor of The Agnewsletter. Page 5 The GATHERING 2009 July 25th & 26th; in Edinburgh, Scotland A message from Lord Sempill This is the end of our first year, and I am pleased to report that The Gathering 2009 is ex­ ceeding the targets that we originally set ourselves. It is very heartening to see such a posi­ tive response from the Clans. The initial demand forpassports is also above expectations and indicates that people are coming from all over the world. So ..a very big thank you to the clans associations who pro­ moted The Gathering 2009 through their newsletters. We have also received some very positive media exposure which has helped to raise the profile of The Gathering 2009 in Scotland...so much so that we have been inundated with job applications to work for us. Looking forward we have much to do...so keep spreading the word, and hopefully I'll meet some of you on my travels! Lord Sempill Clan Update We now have an incredible 115 Clans and Family Societies attending the Gathering 2009, with 70 of these having booked clan tents. Clans signing up this month include Clan Carmichael, Clan Hannay, Clan Macintyre and Clan Fergusson amongst many others.

    international journal of scottish literature www.ijsl.stir.ac.uk ISSN 1751-2808 ISSUE FOUR, SPRING/SUMMER 2008 Editorial: Caribbean-Scottish Passages Gemma Robinson and Carla Sassi Making a way in the world In Scotland you can reach Guyana by taking the A81 north from Glasgow, or the A84 then A81 from the Crianlarich turnoff on the M80 Motorway at Stirling. Either way you’ll find Guyana – a garden centre in Aberfoyle, specialising in plants, garden arts and crafts sourced from around the world.[1] Robert, the owner, has visited the country before and chose the name as a way of keeping hold of the ‘rainforest connotation’ once back in a more temperate climate. He also recognises the shop’s curiosity value: ‘It would be like finding a shop called “Aberfoyle” in Georgetown, Guyana, although you’d be surprised at how many connections people tell you about’. Driving through Aberfoyle (population 576) on a Sunday afternoon, a Trinidadian, two Jamaicans and two Britons, turned a corner and saw this shop: it was a singular form of Caribbean-Scottish connection. What does it mean to track ‘Caribbean-Scottish passages’? Who is involved in making the passage between the Caribbean and Scotland, historically, culturally and politically? How can we understand the significance of these passages between nations, histories, art-forms, languages and literatures? These are some of the questions that animate this special issue, and the questions that our contributors pose and answer in the articles, art-work and occasional papers that follow. To think about the Caribbean and Scotland in the same horizon of vision is to recognise it as part of a shared world.

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.

By a happy coincidence this year, Cluny celebrated his birthday on the same day with his family at Newton Castle, Blairgowrie. But not before telling me of his memories of the same day in 2000 when he, accompanied by the late Lady Cluny was Chieftain of the Day, supported by a large retinue of clansmen and women. He said; Sheila and I loved our day there---warmest of memories.’ Notwithstanding the prior wet weather, closure of the adjoining car parks, and an early start, a large crowd assembled with several clan groups joining the March of the Clans and Bands. Of the latter 25 attended this year, and included two bands wearing the red Macpherson tartan; Launceston (Tasmania) City Pipes and Drums and the Knox Grammar School Old Boys Pipe Band. L to R, Jimmy Barnes, Chieftain of the Day, John L Macpherson and Euan Noble at Bundanoon. Visitors to the Clan Macpherson tent included several potential members from across New South Wales and Victoria. We were also pleased to have Euan Noble, the son of former CMA Chairman Shelagh Macpherson-Noble, join us for day. Euan is now working in Australia and has joined us from the Scottish and Northern Ireland Branch.

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