Mary Alice Faltings and her family, (3 generations, wearing the Ramsay Tartan), participate in the Pleasanton-Blairgowie-Fergus Train Ride.

Page 2: It was also reported that President Ramsay sends a welcome letter to all new Clan Ramsay members. He requests we seek these new members out at the games and make them feel welcome and know they have a place to “hang-out,” at the games and enjoy the fellowship of other Ramsay/Ramsey’s in our games tents. New Business: Life-Membership. President John Ramsay discussed the pros vs. cons of this membership option. Members who want to pay their dues up to four years in advance could be eligible to do so. Dues are $30 yearly and a check for $120 can be paid so that you don’t have to pay, or remember to pay each year, no increase in the dues will apply. The motion to accept this plan was made by Ron Ramsey and motion carried. President John Ramsay has contacted Alice Ramsay regarding changes to the language on the Clan Ramsey web-site. Nothing has been changed regarding the content of the language it has just been taken from negative language to positive language in statements about Clan Ramsay. Dr. Carl Bailey made a motion to accept these changes in language and motion carried. President John Ramsay reported that our Clan Ramsay Genealogist, wording will change. The following will be added; delete: the Clan Genealogist does not provide research services. Add the following: “The Clan Genealogist does not provide research services, but will attempt to answer Clan Member questions about making contributions to, or accessing heritage files in the Clan Ramsey Genealogy data base.” The following will be added to the DNA Project page: “It is recommended that Megan Smolenyak’s book, Trace Your Roots with DNA: Using Genetic Tests to Explore Your Family Tree, is considered one of the foremost experts in using DNA for research. In addition, the Blair DNA site has one of the best explanations of research using DNA. http://blairdna.com” Sue Scott Ramsey would like to know if Clan Ramsay members who attend the Grandfather Mtn. Highland Games would like to meet for dinner at Sorrento’s Restaurant on Saturday night following the games. She would need a count of who would be interested by April 2014. The Clan Scott AGM will be held that weekend and a dinner at Sorrento’s and there is room for Clan Ramsay members/friends to have dinner there too in a private room with several options for the menu. Contact David Ramsey to reply with your RSVP so we can get an idea of how many wish to attend. There being no further business the meeting was adjourned. Respectfully submitted, Mary Alice C.

    THE EARLS OF DALHOUSIE WHO WERE ALSO MEMBERS OF THE MOST ANCIENT AND MOST NOBLE ORDER OF THE THISTLE (from Dennis Hurt and Wayne R. Premo) In 2017, Dennis Hurt (Clan member #636) and his Lady Susan, who are avid participants in the Colorado Scottish / Celtic Festivals each year, traveled to the United Kingdom as many of us have over these past decades. While visiting Scotland and particularly Edinburgh, they decided to “take in” St. Giles High Kirk (Kirk meaning Church; or High Kirk meaning Cathedral, in this case) which is located on High Street (The Royal Mile) in Old Town Edinburgh. St. Giles Cathedral or High Kirk of Edinburgh is THE principal place of worship of the Church of Scotland in Edinburgh (Wikipedia online). St. Giles High Kirk today – The Royal Mile – Edinburgh While online websites have a great deal of information with photos about St. Giles High Kirk, what is important to this narrative is the fact that the Thistle Chapel, a section therein, was dedicated in 1911 to the Most AnCient anD Most Noble OrDer oF the Thistle, SCotlanD’s Foremost OrDer oF Chivalry. Again from Wikipedia: “The Most AnCient anD Most Noble OrDer oF the Thistle is an order of chivalry associated with Scotland. The current version of the Order was founded in 1687 by King James VII 1 of ScotlanD (James II of England and Ireland) who asserted that he was reviving an earlier Order. The Order consists of the Sovereign and sixteen Knights and Ladies, as well as certain "extra" knights (members of the British Royal Family and foreign monarchs).

    CLAYMORE Service, Education, Advocacy for the Scottish-American Ancestral Diaspora July 2020 COSCA 2020 AGM RESCHEDULED! Due to the COVID19 Pandemic, the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games—the regular site for COSCA’s Annual General Meeting since our founding in 1976—was cancelled for 2020. As a result, COSCA’s AGM has had to be rescheduled. Due to continued closures and cancellations of large public gatherings, the decision has been made to hold this year’s AGM online, as is allowed by applicable state law. Accordingly, COSCA will convene its AGM remotely, via Zoom. We are looking at several possible dates later in this Calendar Year. The new date and time for the AGM, as well as directions how to join the meeting, will be announced soon on the COSCA website (www.cosca.scot). Please consult the website for further details.

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