  • Short History of the Muirhead Clan.Pdf
    ii iii ASHORT HISTORY OF THE MUIRHEAD CLAN Historians have noted that the family of Muirhead was one of the ancient families of the shire (i.e. county), of Lanark. According to Alexander Nisbet, in his book, A System Of Heraldry, published in 1742: “The Family of Muirheads of Lachop, or Muirhead of That-Ilk, has been always repute one of the ancientest Families in all the Shire of Lanerk.”... “The Sirname de Morehead, or Muirhead, is like other Sirnames of the greatest Antiquity, local, taken from Lands, from whence either the Proprietor took a Denomination, when fixed hereditary Sirnames became customary; or took an Appellation from the Lands, as soon as he obtained them; for it is a Maxim amongst Antiquaries, that ‘tis a sufficient Document of an ancient Descent, where the Inhabitant has the Sirname from the Place he inhabiteth.” 1 It was in the valley of the Clyde River, on the southern border of the highlands of Scotland, to the west of Edinburgh, and midway between it and Glasgow, in the Parish of Bothwell, in the Clydesdale county or shire of Lanark, that the lands of Lauchope and Lauchope House were located. And it was the estate of Lauchope that was first associated Photo of Lauchope House supplied by John Lindsay Morehead – Taken from 1925 with the name of Morehead family history in his possession. Muirhead. Reproduced by permission of the Trustees of the National Library of Scotland. In order for us to flesh out a history of this “Family of the Muirheads of Lachop”, we should begin by identifying a starting point when the family first became known to reside in Scotland.

  • Cumming Connections an Ancient Town in Belgium and a Present Day Baronetcy
    umming, The Name And the Cumming Connections An Ancient Town in Belgium and a Present Day Baronetcy The Town Still Exists: Comines in Belgium Northwest of Lille, France C By Dave Cumming One day while in a writing class at Texas Christian University, my professor said to me “do you know you have an important Scottish name?” Professor Edwards had just returned from a trip to Canada in which she had encountered the Cumming Clan Tartan and Badge. For a young man who was having some difficulty in the class and with a very poor self- image, the words were curiously encouraging. I had often wondered about our name. Where did it come from? There didn’t seem to be a lot of them spelled the way we did. Oh, sure, I knew there was the poet E. E. Cummins and the TV and film actor Bob Cummings. But I didn’t run into many without the “s” on the end. Many years later, on a trip to Europe and the UK to visit my Uncle Herbert’s memorial in Belgium and Uncle Bob’s grave in England, I encountered a small town lying right on the French- Belgium border that once was part of Old Flanders named “Comines”. I didn’t know it then, but later I discovered there was a distinct connection that the name “Cumming” has to the locality of Comines dating back to the 11th Century and the Norman Conquest from which came a knight with William the Conqueror in 1066 named Robert de Comine. The Norman Invasion and the Battle of Hastings was one of those pivotal events in history that shaped the movement of people and is the source for many names in early England and Scotland.

  • ********************************************************************************* GENEALOGISTS for the SCOTTISH CLANS by Robert D
    ********************************************************************************* 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.
