De tre øverste er (1) Aberne, (2) Maguire, og (3) Cahill. Sidstnævnte er formodentlig et a f de ældste efternavne i Europa. De tre nederste er (4) Doherty, (5) Hogan og (6) Tobin. Fælles for disse slægtsnavne er, at de ifølge Danmarks Statistiks Navne-database, også er repræsenteret med bærere i Danmark. Således har Aberne ca. 5 bærere og en stave­ form, der i dag er ret almindelig i de irske områder Cork og Limerick. Maguire har ca. 10 bærere, og såvel MacGuire, som McGuire er irske varianter a f slægtsnavnet, der har deres oprindelse i det gamle Connacht (i dag provinsen Con­ naught). Cahill har ca. 10 bærere, og i Irland er Cahill-slægter mest udbredt i de tre sydirske counties Kerry, Cork og Tipperary i Munster-provinsen. Med omkring 22 bærere er Doherty godt repræsenteret i Danmark, og staveformen er tilmed den mest typiske irske form a f navnet, mest fremherskende i det nordvestlige county Donegal, der traditionelt tilhører Ulster-provinsen, men udgør den nordvest­ ligste del a f republikken Irland. Hogan (anføres at have ca. 16 bærere i Danmark). I Irland er efternavnet mest al­ mindeligt i Cork og Kerry. Tobin (ca. 13 bærere) møder man i Irland mest i den sydlige del a f landet (Munster- provinsen). Der kunne således være værd at undersøge, hvorvidt de danske bærere i alle seks tilfælde er efterkommere a f de irske slægter, og dermed kan indbyde til grænseoverskri­ dende slægtsforskning. Jævnfør også forrige årgangs omtale a f nogle baltiske slægter fra det 19. århundrede... w ww.hvemforskerhvad. dk h v e m f o r s k e r h v a d h v e m f o r s k e r h v a d 2 0 1 0 Udgivet af: Samfundet for dansk genealogi og Personalhistorie Sammenslutningen af Slægtshistoriske Foreninger DIS-Danmark bvero poRskeR Uvaö 2010 42. årg. © 2010 by Hvem Forsker Hvad v. redaktøren Tommy P.

Desværre er det også den sidste trykte udgave, da udgiverne har besluttet at stoppe udgivelsen, mens formuen endnu var intakt og kunne bruges på andre projekter til gavn for danske slægtsforskere. Som nævnt sidste år er antallet af indsendte indlæg dalet støt gennem de seneste år, og et stigende antal slægtsforskere foretrækker tydeligvis den hurtigere og nemmere løsning, som internettet tilbyder. Fremover vil vor hjemmeside: www.hvemforskerhvad.dk derfor pege videre til sådanne muligheder, ligesom det fortsat må anbefales at man holder øje med sites som: www.dis-danmark.dk,www.genealogi.dk og www.ssf.dk - der alle har yderligere links til steder på internettet, hvor slægtsforskere kan udveksle informationer. De slægtsforskere, der enten ikke kan - eller vil - benytte internettet, må i stedet prøve at henvende sig til de lokale biblioteker og lokalarkiver samt de lokal- og slægtshistoriske foreninger, der findes rundt om i landet. Her kan man hjælpe og informere om, hvilke medlemsblade og informationsmuligheder der måtte findes lokalt. Redaktørskiftet kom altså ikke til at betyde en sikring af den fortsatte udgivelse af årbogen i trykt form, men her deler vi skæbne med en lang række kulturtidsskrifter, der i de senere år er gået i graven ikke kun på grund af internettets fremmarch, men også på grund af re­ geringens nedskæringer i tidsskriftsstøtten og de forøgede porto-udgifter. Til sidst skal der lyde en stor tak til de mange trofaste abonnenter, der år efter år har skabt det økonomiske grundlag, den skare af frivillige, der gennem årene har brugt deres fritid på korrektur, korrespondance og hvad der nu følger med at sikre kvaliteten af en sådan udgi­ velse samt vores forlag gennem en årrække, Syddansk Universitetsforlag, der har sikret en professionel udformning af Hvem Forsker Hvad. Den afgående redaktør skal også takke de tre landsdækkende foreninger for den udviste tillid, da man sidste år valgte at lade mig redigere årbogen, og kun beklage at det ikke har været muligt at vende udviklingen.

Brødrene Anker og deres fabrik i Hasle på Bornholm Brødrene Anker var yngste sønner af murermester Jens Hansen Anker i Hasle, og blev op­ fostret sammen med fem andre søskende ude i Gammelværk, nu tilhørende Hasle Klinke- og Chamottestensfabrik, den gang Hasle Kulværk. Faderen var på det tidspunkt formand i nævnte kulværk, og dette gjorde vel sit til, at brødrene senere hen i livet blandt meget andet også kom til at interessere sig for de bornholmske kul. Jens Vallentin Anker er født den 2.8.1859. Allerede inden sin konfirmation var han stærkt inde i en dampmaskines konstruktion og havde allerede på det tidspunkt taget beslutnin­ gen om, at hans livsbane skulle være noget med maskiner. Jens Anker kom derfor i lære hos smedemester Jens Bohn, Kattesundet i Rønne, og fik her sin uddannelse som beslagsmed. Efter læretiden arbejdede han en tid på Bornholms Maskinfabrik i Rønne, hvorefter han rejste til København og kom i arbejde på Thistrøms Maskinfabrik

Advertisements The Speckled Booklet of the MacEgans Page - 5 FOREWORD One of the most outstanding medieval Irish manuscripts still extant is the Leabhar Breac—the Speckled Book of the MacEgans which was written before 1411. It is now a prized possession of the Royal Irish Academy, Dublin. It will not be considered presumptuous to call this production 'The Speckled Booklet' as it is our tribute to our forbears who left such an imprint on the history of Law and Learning in Ireland. As you will see, the articles appearing in the booklet are of particular interest to people of the names MacEgan, Egan, Eagan and Keegan. Because the MacEgans were a family interested in their family history and genealogy from the earliest times, it is not surprising that the formation of our Clan Association has evoked such interest amongst our kith and kin at home and abroad.

    Battle Name: Largs Council area: N Ayrshire Date: 2nd October 1263 UKFOC number: 430 LARGS 1 SUMMARY 1.1 CONTEXT Despite the Scots victory at Renfrew in 1164 and several campaigns by Scottish kings to conquer the territory, the Norse had retained control of the Isles and Argyll. There they maintained their rule in a semi-autonomous fashion under the overlordship of the kings of Norway. In response to the continued pressure from the Scots, the king of Norway mounted a pre-emptive attack to secure Norse control of the territory. In July 1263 King Haco is said to have sailed from Bergen with 200 ships. In the Hebrides he was joined by the King of Man with additional forces. From there they sailed down the coast of Scotland raiding the mainland. Initial negotiations were opened but this time was used by the Scots to buy time to raise their forces. Then in a storm some of the Norse ships were beached at Largs and an armed engagement began, forcing Haco to land his main force in disadvantageous circumstances on a difficult coast. (1). 1.2 ACTION Little is known of the detail of the action, which soon escalated into full battle, but it seems that the Norse were never able to form up fully in battle array before they were engaged. The arrival of Scottish reinforcements may finally have turned the tide of the action, forcing the Norse army to break. It is said that they were then pursued with great slaughter, with most fleeing to their boats. (1).

    The Battle of Harlaw Was Fought on 24 July 1411

    Lordship of the Isles The Lordship of the Isles comprised a varying extent of land at different times, but can be roughly approximated to Argyll. It included the Hebrides (Skye and Ross from 1438), Knoydart, Ardnamurchan, and the Kintyre peninsula. The Lordship developed under descendants of the Vikings, mixed with Gaels and Scots. Its first great historical leader is often said to be Somerled who ruled in the 12th century. It was a maritime and seafaring kingdom and as such its heraldry always contained a galley. It was effectively in the 12th and early 13th centuries an independent kingdom within Scotland. We should, however, be careful in Illustration 2: Battle of Harlaw monument. using the term Scotland here. This Illustration 3: Map showing supposed was a time when the nation as we extent of Lordship of the Isles. think of it was starting to come into existence: the Isles, however, were effectively the last major area to retain a strong tradition and reality of independence about them.

  • History of Scapa Flow

    History of Scapa Flow

    HISTORY OF SCAPA FLOW Scapa Flow is a body of water about 120 square miles (311 square kilometres) in area with an average depth of 98 – 131 feet (30 – 40 meters). It is encircled by the Orkney Mainland and South Isles, making it a sheltered harbour with easy access to both the North Sea and Atlantic Ocean. The name, Scapa Flow, comes from the Old Norse Skalpaflói, meaning ‘bay of the long isthmus’, which refers to the thin strip of land between the town of Kirkwall and Scapa Bay. It was much used in Viking times and there are several references to it in the saga of the Earls of Orkney, Orkneyinga Saga. The first mention of a fleet of ships using Scapa Flow was in 1198 when Earl Harald Maddadsson raised a great force to resist a rival’s claim to half of the earldom. A spy travelled to South Ronaldsay where he climbed a hill and saw the earl’s army and a great fleet of ships, many of them large warships. Earl Harald defeated his rival in a battle in Caithness, but incurred the wrath of both the kings of Scotland and Norway as a result of his actions. Another great fleet (or at least the remnants of one) found safety in Scapa Flow in 1263. King Hákon IV of Norway sailed to Orkney with a mighty flotilla, then on to the Norwegian owned esternW Isles as a demonstration of his sea power to the King of Scotland. The fleet was delayed from leaving because of negotiations with Scotland over the disputed territory, but in the end the autumnal gales that the King of Scotland had anticipated wrecked many ships and the Norwegians were defeated by the Scots at the Battle of Largs.

    TH@ DECAY OF THE EARLDOM AND THE END OF THE WESTERN KINGDOM. FTER the death of Earl Rognvald, the islands were ruled for almost fifty years by Harald Maddadson. Harald's later days were full of troubles. With the decay of his powers the glory of the earldom also faded away. In 1194,when Sverrir was King of Norway, a re- bellion took place, with the object of Sigurd Erlingson on ' the throne. Sigurd's known as the "Eyjarskeggjar " or "Island- es," had their headquarters in the Orkneys. they collected their forces, and there the re- n was organized.

In the first place ic weakened the power of the Orkney earldom; in the second place it caused the earldom to draw nearer to Scotland, and to wme more and more under Scottish influence.

  • Skye from Somerled to A.D. 1500 G

    Skye from Somerled to A.D. 1500 G

    Skye from Somerled to A.D. 1500 G. WS. Barrow THE bigger islands of western Scotland may be, and no doubt have been, classified in various ways. From the standpoint of the historian of medieval Scotland one particularly helpful classification is by language and culture - with the all-important proviso that neither of these features possesses an accepted, self-evident chronology, and for the historian chronology is fundamental. From the geography of Ptolemy of Alexandria, in the second century after Christ, we can deduce that the Big Four, among the islands outwith the Kintyre Peninsula - i.e., omitting Arran - were Lewis, Skye, Mull and Islay (Watson, 1926:6 and at 37-42; Richmond, 1954:134 and at 136). Two of these already had names close to those we recognise today, Skitis and Malaios. We must envisage a northern British, Brittanie-speaking population spread, rather thinly, across the isles. If, taking a hint from Adamnan (Sharpe, 1995: 136- 37 and at 293-95), 1 we call them Picts2 we shall not be led astray, provided that we allow some cultural differences between society in Skye and those in the rich firthlands of Easter Ross or the relatively rich plain of Strathmore (Sutherland, 1997:72-73).3 Between the time of Columba in the sixth century and the time of Somerled in the twelfth Skye must have experienced two major social and cultural revolutions. Between the end of the sixth century and the end of the eighth the Pictish or north Brittonic language - of which traces have been left just across the water from here, in Applecross, at Pitalman (Pitalmit, Bailanailm) In the earlier edition of A.O.
