ISSN: 1948-1187 © 2013, Ewing Family Association. All rights reserved. Version 05.00 From the Editor William E. Riddle, Journal Editor (+1 505.988.1092, [email protected]) Electronic vs. Printed Copies of the Journal I've previously encourged members to receive copies of the Ewing Family Association's (EFA's) Ewing Family Journal (EFJ) by EMail rather than by SnailMail. Recently, I've noticed that new members are increasingly electing the EMail-delivery option and organizations are switching to this option. So, I thought I would renew my suggestion and, once again, extole it virtues. Copies delivered by EMail are in PDF format. 100% of today's computers come with the ability to view PDF files. I suspect that only one, maybe two, EFA members can't view files in the PDF format because their systems are woefully ancient. PDF versions, when compared to printed copies, have the following advantages: PDF versions are in color; they can be easily, electronically, searched for arbitrary text (for example, location names) rather than just via the issue's Index citing only people; they can be annotated with notes that are in themselves subject to electronic searching; and they consume far less space (none in fact!) on one's shelves and in one's file cabinets. Comments I have heard in response to my switch-to-EMail-delivery suggestion have included: 1) people very much like the comfort of curling up in a chair with the warmth of a physical object in hand, and 2) it's easier to recover from a bookcase crashing as opposed to recovering from a computer-system crash. I certainly understand these feelings and perceptions, even though they are quite different from my personal feelings, based on my living-online lifestyle, and don't reflect my personal computer-system usage. But an interesting observation from Karen Avery, the Ewing Family Association's Genealogist, recently crossed my (electronic) desktop which I think might affect a decision vis-à-vis EMail vs. SnailMail delivery: I have been receiving the EFJ electronically for quite a while now – five-plus years. I actually prefer this. In addition to being able to save each issue to my computer, I print each issue using my printer's double- sided printing capability. There's plenty of room in the margins for notes; the EFJ's 7.5x8.5 print size leaves extra-wide margins when printed on 8.5x11 paper. These extra-wide margins allow me to make extensive hand-written notes. So I actually have two copies – one electronic and one printed. I hole-punch the printed version, file it in a ring binder, and mark it up with notes. It's up to each member to decide whether they wish to receive copies of the EFJ via EMail or SnailMail. But, it seems to me that EMail delivery has over-riding values and should not only be seriously considered but also chosen. Ewing Peregrinations Ewings have made many trips over the summer involving, to varying degrees, genealogic research. This issue of the EFJ is chock full of several reports about these trips – from Shirley Ewing's brief report on page 73 in this issue's Keeping Up With The Ewings section to Steve Ewing's more extensive article about his ramblings about Inishowen starting on page 41. With the coming of fall and winter, these trips, and reports about them, will slack off. But, for now, please read about all the interesting experiences enjoyed on various EFA members' trips and the valuable genealogic data and information that resulted. ii Ewing Family Journal Vol. 19, No. 4 (November 2013) How To's Several issues ago, I introduced a How-To section with information intended to help members understand and/or learn good practices – and avoid bad practices – in carrying out their genealogic research. One of the reports concerning this past summer's members' travels is included in this issue's How To's section. Beth (Ewing) Toscos's article on page 57 explains lessons she (and her travel companions) learned on her research trip regarding the trip's planning and conduct. In addition, Steve Ewing provides some advice in the summarization of his article (see page 30) about how to increase the value of a research trip. Other articles in this issue contain additional advice and tips. The bottom line: I include, in the How To's section, articles which obviously focus on helping members carry out their genealogic-research work. But each issue usually has additional tips, insights and advice about the conduct of genealogic research contained in the articles reporting the uncovered information. Readers should watch for these tips, insights and advice as they read though an issue, rather than just merely looking for data and information pertinent to their heritage. Connecting I have often spoken of the value of collaboration. A prerequisite for collaboration is making connections. This issue has a couple of examples of this connection-making. Our new member Christopher Scott Ewing (see page 69 for his new-member item) cites Alexander and Jane (Kirkpatrick) Ewing as his ancestors. This Alexander is my first cousin four times removed. That makes Christopher a cousin of mine of some sort. He lives in the Denver, Colorado, area, a 'mere' 400 miles north of me here in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I very much hope Christopher and I, now having connected, will be able to electronically and face-to- face collaborate regarding the descendants of James Ewing of Inch, our common ancestor. A connection of a quite different sort comes from several items in this issue citing the Otter area of Scotland, lying on the eastern shore of Loch Fyne. In various items in this issue of the EFJ, this region is cited as an area where our Ewing Ancestors may have originated, an area that one of our members visited in his childhood, and an area several members visited on recent trips to Scotland. Members receiving PDF versions of the Journal can simply search for 'Otter' to find these references. Members receiving a printed version of the Journal will have to wait for me to post this issue's articles on the EFA Web Site where they can then be searched for 'Otter'. I hope that all of the authors referring to the Otter area note the common interest, connect with each other, collaborate and share their resulting knowledge and thoughts. Wm E.

As part that is familiar with the life of the fishing community, this phenom- enon is very interesting as well as important to be studied more deeply in the context of the north coast Javanese sub-culture. Based on that, this study aims to explain: (1) the design of fishing boat construction as a representation of the technology system of traditional fishing communities in Jepara, (2) the ecological aspect of the north coast Javanese sub-culture includes the process of creating traditional fishing boat in Jepara communities, and (3) wisdom potential in traditional ship design as learning resources. This study uses a qualitative approach with case study design. The data is collected through interviews, observations and document reviews, and analyzed by using flow mode. The results of the study will provide an empirical explanation of the construction design and boat creation technology in the ecological perspective of the north coast Javanese sub-culture.

General information Preston is a city in the shire county of Lancashire, in the North West of England in the sovereign state of the United Kingdom. It’s “located on the north bank of the River Ribble.” (picture 1) 114,300 people live there (ONS, June 2008).1 With 142.22km² it’s about 65km² smaller than Stuttgart. 2 “… The name Preston is derived from Old English words meaning “Priest settlement” and in the Domesday Book appears as Prestune.” 3 The Domesday Book was completed in 1086 and it’s a collection of the great survey of England and Wales. 4 2. Pre-industrial era (shortly before the IR) The plague in November 1631 killed 1100 people in Preston in 12 month. The civil war from 1630 to 1650 and the Battle of Preston in 1648 have been very bad for the town, too. 5 The Jacobite Battle in November 1715 describes the battle, when the troops of King George defeated a Jacobite Army of 2,000 soldiers in the Church Street of Preston.

  • The Inventory of Historic Battlefields – Battle of Prestonpans Designation
    The Inventory of Historic Battlefields – Battle of Prestonpans The Inventory of Historic Battlefields is a list of nationally important battlefields in Scotland. A battlefield is of national importance if it makes a contribution to the understanding of the archaeology and history of the nation as a whole, or has the potential to do so, or holds a particularly significant place in the national consciousness. For a battlefield to be included in the Inventory, it must be considered to be of national importance either for its association with key historical events or figures; or for the physical remains and/or archaeological potential it contains; or for its landscape context. In addition, it must be possible to define the site on a modern map with a reasonable degree of accuracy. The aim of the Inventory is to raise awareness of the significance of these nationally important battlefield sites and to assist in their protection and management for the future. Inventory battlefields are a material consideration in the planning process. The Inventory is also a major resource for enhancing the understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of historic battlefields, for promoting education and stimulating further research, and for developing their potential as attractions for visitors.
