There are quite a few sizeable family trees around connecting various families to the great man. Recently I received an e-mail from a lady in London, England and I will let her e-mail tell the story and the subsequent response she got from another member from the same family (Judy Parry). These discoveries of other family mem- bers are the exciting things in genealogy. Here is the email from Pia Goddard: Pia Goddard Cabar Feidh Newsletter: Members who wish to write to the Society with contributions to the Newsletter please send submissions to The Editor, Clan MacKenzie Society, 580 Rebecca St., Oakville, ON L6K 3N9. or e-mail to [email protected] Clan Web Pages: www.clanmackenzie.com & www.electricscotland.com/mackenzie Page 2 Mackenzie Monro (the first appear- ance of the name in my research). When I was growing up I heard many times from Hector John that we were all descended from Sir Alexander Mackenzie, but neither the proof, nor any more information than that was ever forthcoming. My grandfather Hector died in 1975, and my mother inherited his paperwork, which went into a dusty box in a deep, dark cupboard, until about five years ago when I, recent- ly animated by a new interest in family history, opened the box and found a very old and interesting as a Dr and Missionary in the we had only a “dead by” date, and telegram from Winnipeg, Canada, Q’Appelle Valley, I read the follow- no more information than that. dated 1948, informing Hector John ing: I’ve written this out really of the death of his uncle, Campbell “Dr Munro was a great grandson roughly, without all the sibling Hamilton Monro. of Sir Alexander Mackenzie, who information, and I’ll send you paper As I was completely unaware of discovered the Mackenzie River, copies in the post of all of this as this branch of the Monros, I did a and a direct descendant of the the scans don’t work so well as lot more research and finally found House of the Clan Monro.” attachments.

This was primarily due to its strategic importance as the northern gateway into the Hebrides to the west, and Caithness and Sutherland to the north. The power derived from the earldom’s strategic situation was enhanced by the status of its earls. From 1215 to 1372 the earldom was ruled by an uninterrupted MacTaggart comital dynasty which was able to capitalise on this longevity to establish itself as an indispensable authority in Scotland north of the Forth.

  • Gravestone Symbols and Scottish Families!!
    GRAVESTONE SYMBOLS AND SCOTTISH FAMILIES!! By aaa, bbb, ccc Introduction . In this PowerPoint we will be talking about the Scottish families and death gravestone symbols. We would be very grateful if you held all your question till the end thank you and enjoy ☺☺ Clan Ross . Clan Ross is a Highland Scottish clan. The original chiefs of the clan were the original Earls of Ross. The ross logo is ‘success nourishes hope’ but nowadays people just say ‘success breeds success’ . Some castles of the ross clan are: Balconie castle, Shandwick castle and Hawk head castle. Their badge is a hand holding a juniper. Clan Munro . Clan Munro is a Highland Scottish clan. Historically the clan was based in Easter Ross in the Scottish Highlands. Traditional origins of the clan give its founder as Donald Munro who came from the north of Ireland and settled in Scotland in the eleventh century. The first proven clan chief on record however is Robert de Munro who died in 1369. The clan chiefs have always been seated at Foulis Castle and styled "of Foulis". During the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries the Munros feuded with their neighbours the Clan Mackenzie, and during the seventeenth century many Munros fought in the Thirty Years' War in support of Protestantism . The clan produced some of the finest troops from the highlands. Clan Mackenzie . The Mackenzies were of Celtic stock and were not among the clans that originated from Norman ancestors. They are believed to be related to Clan Matheson and Clan Anrias, all three descending from the 12th century Gilleoin of the Aird.

The suggestion that it is a corruption of ‘St Paul’ seem unlikely, as is the tradition that the 1st of the name had a reputation for being humble or simple. Robert de Sempill witnessed a charter to Paisley Abbey around 1246, and later, as chamberlain of Renfrew, a charter of the Earl of Lennox. His two sons, Robert and Thomas, supported Robert the Bruce, and both were rewarded by the king for their services. The elder son received all the lands around Largs in Ayrshire which had been confiscated from the Balliols. Thomas received a grant of half of the lands of Longniddry. The lands of Eliotstoun, which became the territorial designation of the chiefly line, were acquired prior to 1344. Sir Thomas Sempill of Eliotstoun fell at the Battle of Sauchiefurn fighting for James III in June 1488. His only son, John, succeeded to the family estates, and early in the reign of James IV – probably in 14188 – he was ennobled with the title, Lord Sempill.
