Each hive is literally a hub of activity! He studied and passed exams in beekeeping. His friend supplied his first bees, to keep in the back garden. David still has a couple of hives, yielding around 70 lbs of honey every year. He was also intrigued by bees’ crucial role in pollinating crops, and the medicinal properties of honey - something known and used by the Ancient Egyptians. Stings are not now a particulate hazard of the job for David. They too have medicinal properties: David credits them with curing his rheumatism.

  • The Weekend of Invitation
    1 Reflections June - July 2018 Issue No 34 The Locum's Letter My Dear Friends, Someone said, ‘I’d rather be unhappy in Glasgow than happy anywhere else’! I think they meant that although life was not perfect in that great City, it was still the best place to be. The close friends of Jesus said something similar on one occasion. After a promising start when crowds of people followed him, disappointment set in, and many people who had become disaffected ‘no longer went about with him’, according to St John(St John 6: 66). When Jesus asked the twelve if they would also leave his side, the reply was, ‘Lord, to whom shall we go?’ Things were not great but they couldn’t see anything better elsewhere. Now, May is the month when the Church’s imperfections are placarded before the people of Scotland. The General Assembly meeting in Edinburgh will confirm that the Church is in a parlous state, weakened by falling membership, threatened by financial pressures and struggling to succeed in a secular society that needs neither faith nor Church. Sadly, among those who no longer need the Church or the faith, are those who once valued both. Like some of the first followers of Jesus they, ‘no longer go about with him’. The question we might ask is, ‘Who do they go about with now?' If you are someone who used to go to Church you might want to think about the question. No one knows the weakness of the Church better than those who live at the heart of it.

  • 'The Monuments of a Family': a Collection of Jewels Associated With
    Proc Soc Antiq Scot, 131 (2001), 327–348 ‘The monuments of a family’: a collection of jewels associated with Elizabeth of Bohemia Athol Murray* ABSTRACT This paper examines the evidence of three lawsuits relating to the ownership and dispersal of a collection of jewels and plate associated with Elizabeth of Bohemia, daughter of James VI and I, and prints a contemporary inventory. The court of session records held by the National Archives of Scotland provide a vast but underused source for many aspects of Scottish life over the last five centuries. They are underused because of their bulk and lack of adequate indexes but a persistent researcher may be rewarded by a wealth of information on persons, places or events in the past. Nevertheless this source must be used with caution. As a 17th-century judge, Lord Stair, complained: It derogates much from the honour of the Session, and from the estimation and security of their decreets, and hinders the dispatch of justice, that all things (whether in matter of law or matter of fact) are congested in their decreets, which do contain the reiterated and various disputes and interlocutors, and the frequently repeated bills and answers and interlocutors thereupon inserted verbatim: whereby decreets arise to such a bulk and are so nauseous to the perusers of them, that they will exceed sometimes forty sheets of paper and more; and take a long time and expensive attendance, before such decreets can be extracted.1 These strictures apply to the records of the three cases on which the present paper is based.2 They record assertions rather than proved facts and, even where there seems to be agreement about facts, the parties’ lawyers have tried to interpret them in a manner favourable to their clients.

  • Alphabetical Index to Privately Deposited Records
    ALPHABETICAL INDEX TO PRIVATELY DEPOSITED RECORDS December 2007 Introduction Under the Public Records Act (Northern Ireland) the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI) is permitted to accept into its care any record that it deems worthy of preservation, whether or not that record was generated by a Government Department or a Non-Departmental Public Body. This permission allows PRONI to accept records from private individuals, from businesses, charities, social and sporting organisations, religious bodies and political parties. All records donated are evaluated for their historical value and, if of sufficient importance, PRONI is happy to accept them, either as an outright gift, or as a long- term loan. Most of these records can be opened to the public immediately after they have been catalogued but, as in some cases the depositors retain control over access to their papers, not all privately deposited archives are open to the public. If you wish to access information in an archive which is closed to the public, you can make a request via the PRONI Records Management, Cataloguing and Access Team. ALPHABETICAL INDEX TO 'D', 'T' AND 'MIC' LISTS PLEASE NOTE: This alphabetical index has been produced from three numerical indexes of lists and not from the lists themselves. In order to produce a shorter and more compact index, lists with identical, or near-identical, titles have been grouped together – see, for example, the entry for Abercorn below. Users are warned that in some cases the groups of references may relate to more than one family with the same name. Similarly, because the titles of some of the earlier lists are inconsistent, uninformative or even misleading, it is possible that many such connections have not been made.

  • The Tweedie Family
    The Tweedie Family - a genealogy - McNichols, Tweedie & Wyckoff 2005 Wood-cut on title page from Reminiscences of the Royal Burgh of Haddington; John Martine; John Menzies & Co., Edinburgh and Glasgow, 1883. About this book and the authors: This book is the work of many hands. In 1990 Edwin Tweedie of Wheaton, Illinois hired genealogist Hazel Weir to research the Tweedie family in Scotland. She put him in touch with several cousins in Scotland, who were descendants of great, great, uncle Alexander Tweedie. May Tweedie Stephen responded to Edwin’s letter and a meeting was arranged in Scotland. It was at this gathering that the idea of a book about the family history was born. The primary genealogist was Diane McNichols of Scotland who undertook this work at the behest and in the employ of of Ann Tweedie Rennie of East Lothian, Scotland in 1993. In 2001, with most of the research having been done, Mr. McNichols, the publisher and husband of Diane, took ill and work on the book was interrupted for several years. Despairing of the book ever being finished, Edwin with encouragement from his daughter, Lynne, consulted Ellen (Tweedie) Wyckoff, his niece, also of Wheaton to undertake to finish the project. Ellen had previously done most of the scanning of photographs for the book at the inception. Ellen, having only a preliminary galley proof to work from, had the text OCR Scanned into a workable format and proceeded to organize and format the book. She is also responsible for the style and decorations throughout, which are either taken from authentic sources or designed by her entirely.

  • Our Shetland Family
    Our Shetland Family Sandison, Porteous, Tulloch, Inkster and Isbester ancestors of Eric Oscar Andersen Presented and researched by Kathy Callaghan Special thanks to Patsy Burton for her research contributions and to Ross Callaghan for editing the document. 0 This document concerns the Shetland ancestors of Eric Oscar ANDERSEN. The document has been prepared by Kathy Callaghan, daughter of Eric Oscar Andersen for her siblings Patsy Burton, Susan Andersen, Karen Dawson, John Andersen and Michael Andersen. The relationship indicated in brackets after a name is the relationship of that person to these children of Eric Oscar Andersen. Names highlighted in RED are direct ancestors of the children of Eric Oscar Andersen. Names highlighted in BLUE are siblings or cousins of the direct ancestors of Eric Oscar Andersen. Names highlighted in BROWN are ancestors of Eric Oscar Andersen that immigrated to New Zealand. The main focus is the family and ancestors of our great grandfather Andrew Arthur SANDISON, who arrived in New Zealand in 1894 and settled in Wanganui. Primarily, the document follows the SANDISON, PORTEOUS, TULLOCH, INKSTER and ISBESTER/ISBISTER lines. These families all originated in Northmavine, the largest parish in Shetland. Variation in the spelling of names was common, especially in census records so names are recorded in this document as they were written in the original records. Most of the men were recorded as crofters or fishermen and the women as wives, crofters or knitters. Many Shetland families intermarried, and it is said that when two people of Shetland origin meet, it is likely that somewhere in their family tree they will find they have a common ancestor!
