Richard Torrance and Other unidentified members of the Society Copyright The Scottish Genealogy Society 2007 The Scottish Genealogy Society Library & Family History Centre 15 Victoria Terrace Edinburgh EH1 2JL Tel: 0131 220 3677 http://www.scotsgenealogy.com SCOTTISH GENEALOGIST Index Volumes 1-52 1953-2005 INTRODUCTION Over the existence of the Scottish Genealogy Society indexes to the Scottish Genealogist have been published at regular intervals and distributed to those who were members of the Society at the time of publication. The index to the first 28 volumes was one large index with no sub-divisions. As a great number of queries were published it was decided to include these in a section of their own from volume 29 onwards. From volume 41 the index was split into the following sections: General index; Article Titles; Contributors; Reviews; Work in Progress; Queries. A separate section for Illustrations was included in the index for volumes 45-52. NUMBERING There has not been uniformity in the numbering format used by the different compilers of the indexes. A volume covers one year during which 4 journals were issued usually in March, June, September and December. In the current index these have been harmonised to follow the most commonly used pattern: Volume number - Roman numerals capitals Journal number - Roman numerals lower case Page number - Arabic numerals Example: XXXIX.iv.116 -Volume 39, December issue, page 116. Page numbering Page numbering in the journals has not been consistent over the years.

This study looks in detail at those armed forces personnel from the Hillfoots towns of Clackmannanshire who died in the conflict. Over 550 fatalities with close links to the area have been identified so far. Of these, approximately 475 are commemorated on the local war memorials at Alva, Coalsnaughton, Dollar, Menstrie, Muckhart and Tillicoultry. The remaining seventy five or so may be commemorated elsewhere. In this study I have attempted to expand on the few details provided on the memorials to give a better understanding of the lives of those who died.

    Làmh-sgrìobhainnean Gàidhlig Oilthigh Ghlaschu The Gaelic Manuscripts of Glasgow University A Catalogue Anja Gunderloch Department of Celtic, University of Glasgow, 2007 Do mo phàrantan, Ottmar (1937-2006) agus Rosemarie (née Sieling). Acknowledgements The production of a catalogue of manuscripts is a daunting prospect even for the bravest of us. On the one hand, there is the high standard set by, for example, the meticulousness of the cataloguers dealing with the Irish material in the Royal Irish Academy; on the other hand, there is the example of John Mackechnie’s Catalogue of Gaelic Manuscripts with its not infrequent lapses and inaccuracies. I hope that I have done my best to emulate the good practice exemplified by the former while heeding the warning provided by the latter that there are dangers in a single-handed undertaking. Of course, during the time that I spent working on the manuscripts I have greatly benefited from the advice, help, and support of many people, first and foremost my friends and colleagues at Glasgow and Edinburgh University. They all have listened with unfailing patience and courtesy to my frequent and not always coherent ramblings about manuscripts. I am very happy to emphasise that the present work is greatly the better for their input, which came in various guises, not all of it related directly to the matter in hand. I would like single out the following for special thanks: Professor Cathair Ó Dochartaigh, for getting me started on this enterprise; Professor Thomas Owen Clancy and Professor Roibeard Ó Maolalaigh, for making this volume possible in the first place and for much valuable advice and support; Professor Donald E.

  • Clan Mccorquodale
    Clan McCorquodale Clan McCorquodale is a Scottish clan, recognised by the Lord Lyon King of Arms, Clan McCorquodale though without a chief so recognised. The last chief of the clan died in the 18th century. Because the clan does not have a recognised chief, it is considered an armigerous clan, and has no legal standing under Scots Law. Historically, the clan inhabited lands west of Loch Awe, in Argyll. These clan lands were centred at Loch Tromlee, where an island castle served as the clan seat. The line of Clan McCorquodale chiefs, first recorded in the 15th century, has been untraced since the 18th century.

Long References live the king) Profile Region Highlands Origin of the name District Argyll The surname McCorquodale is an Anglicisation of the Gaelic MacThorcadail (or MacCorcadail), meaning "son of Torcadal". The Gaelic personal name Torcadal is of Norse origin and means "Thor's kettle"[1][2] (a more romanticised meaning for the name has been given as "cauldron of the thunder spirit").[3] In 1881, the surname was most frequent in lands which constitute the current Paisley postcode area.[4] This, more or less, corresponds with the Clan McCorquodale's traditional lands in Clan McCorquodale has no chief, Argyll. The clans Macleod of the Lewes and Gunn claim variations of this surname and is an armigerous clan as septs of theirs.[5] Septs are families which claimed allegiance to stronger chief and his clan, or that lived upon lands controlled by a stronger chief and his clan.
