Moses was therefore the first author tc do this type of work. Since that time millions of people have engaged in genealogical work. The '■’hint* se are able to run their Dynasities back 4000 to 5000 years. The Emporor cf OapriU car;, it is said, trace his ancestry back 2500 years, European nations being comparatively young, when time i3 taken into consider- a*.; on, cannot go back much more than 1000 years, as Robert Lister Macne ill has ,dcue with the hcITeals of Scotland, until they find themselves into Egypt in Bible times. The Componclium of American Genealogy, —-the. Standard Genealogical Encyclopedia of the First Families of America; edited by Hr, Fredrick A. Various and published by The Institute of American Genealogy, 440 3, Dearborn St,, Chicago, Illncis; to which tho author of this work belongs, has the following to say.cn this work in America, "From the first settlement in America, mere than 300 years agG, no attempt has heretofore been rno.de to preserve American genealogical records, except in privately printed, individual family genealogies, or in restricted lists of members of hered¬ ity and patriotic societies. These volumes, new numbering many thousands, are inval¬ uable, Fere, however, is the first attempt ever made to compile a national genealogy designed to take _its place as the recognized standard reference work for the United States, such as are the century-old genealogical works cf countries of the Cld "orId, If this work had been begun two hundred years or even one hundred years ago, the task would have been comparatively a simple cnc , In 1790, the population of the U. 3. was about 3,929,214, and at tlia ratio prevailing at that time of aboixt six persons to the family, there was about 654,369 families, practically every one of which was of Colonial or Revolution' ry ancestry, -and therefore potentially First Families of America. In 1930, athe continental population was 122,6SS,190, and at the present radio of 4.3 persons tc-a family, there are about 28,534,460 families in tho II. 3. The enormous increase in population between the years mentioned serves to illustrate that tho longer the arcilaticn of this national genealogy was delayed the greater would hove been the difficulties in compiling it. Tho work cf creating a national genealogy might properly have been undertaken through the combined action of all the hereditary and patriotic societies cf the country, as the avowed objects of these organizations are, among other things, to preserve historical and genealogical records and to foster Amoriicanism. The tenets 1 for which they stand may be defined as the motional Spirit, and this work, embodying as it does, the records cf patriotic service, self sacrifice and ncble achievement, might have been their c-rcwning achievement cf national service. However it remained for the catastrophe of the greatest war in history to compel official compilation of data pertaining to contemporary Americans no a war measure. Participation in the "/orId Ear by tlie TJ. 3. made necessary a source of information for furnishing tho lineages with their inter-marria-geo of large numbers of men and women vhQ were, or desired tc participate in the vanious war activities at home or abroad.* I The necessity for such information demonstrated the urgent need for an author¬ itative genealogical work cf national character, one which would be accepted s the standard for the nation. Thus, this work was born of necessity tc meet a crisis, and it is in the spirit cf national service that the work is being carried out.

  • Heraldry Arms Granted to Members of the Macneil, Mcneill, Macneal, Macneile Families
    Heraldry Arms granted to members of the MacNeil, McNeill, Macneal, MacNeile families The law of heraldry arms In Scotland all things armorial are governed by the laws of arms administered by the Court of the Lord Lyon. The origin of the office of Lord Lyon is shrouded in the mists of history, but various Acts of Parliament, especially those of 1592 and 1672 supplement the established authority of Lord Lyon and his brother heralds. The Lord Lyon is a great officer of state and has a dual capacity, both ministerial and judicial. In his ministerial capacity, he acts as heraldic advisor to the Sovereign, appoints messengers-at-arms, conducts national ceremony and grants arms. In his judicial role, he decides on questions of succession, authorizes the matriculation of arms, registers pedigrees, which are often used as evidence in the matter of succession to peerages, and of course judges in cases when the Procurator Fiscal prosecutes someone for the wrongful use of arms. A System of Heraldry Alexander Nisbet Published 1722 A classic standard heraldic treatise on heraldry, organized by armorial features used, and apparently attempting to list arms for every Scottish family, alive at the time or extinct. Nesbit quotes the source for most of the arms included in the treatis alongside the blazon A System of Heraldry is one of the most useful research sources for finding the armory of a Scots family. It is also the best readily available source discussing charges used in Scots heraldry . The Court of the Lord Lyon is the heraldic authority for Scotland and deals with all matters relating to Scottish Heraldry and Coats of Arms and maintains the Scottish Public Registers of Arms and Genealogies.

Governor Mike Beebe and Irish Consul General Martin Rouine have been invited to attend the ceremony in Calvary Cemetery at 2 p.m. March 14. King was buried there after he died in May 1938 while being treated for pneumonia at the Army & Navy General Hospital. The March 14 ceremony is being coordinated by the Hot Springs Convention and Visitors Bureau with the assistance of the Thadeus H. Caraway Post 2278 of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and Post Commander Ralph Faresc. The VFW is coordinating the military portion of the event and several other local groups have asked to be involved with the ceremony. Calvary Cemetery, the local Catholic cemetery is located at the intersection of Greenwood Avenue and Third Street. The shortest route is to take Central Avenue to Greenwood and turn west. Details about King’s life and the circumstances surrounding his two Medals of Honor were extremely sketchy until Elizabeth Robbins, executive director of the Garland County Historical Society, began an intensive search for more information.

New York, U. 5. A. From Painting by Dr. E, F. Coriu, Paris K.1s11\1 UL CASTLE} IsLE OF BAH HA PREFACE AVING a Highlander's pride of race, it was perhaps natural that I should have been deeply H interested, as a lad, in the stirring tales and quaint legends of our ancient Clan. With maturity came the desire for dependable records of its history, and I was disappointed at finding only incomplete accounts, here and there in published works, which were at the same time often contradictory. My succession to the Chiefship, besides bringing greetings from clansmen in many lands, also brought forth their expressions of the opinion that a complete history would be most desirable, coupled with the sug­ gestion that, as I had considerable data on hand, I com­ pile it. I felt some diffidence in undertaking to write about my own family, but, believing that under these conditions it would serve a worthy purpose, I commenced this work which was interrupted by the chaos of the Great War and by my own military service. In all cases where the original sources of information exist I have consulted them, so that I believe the book is quite accurate.

  • Disingenuous Information About Clan Mactavish (The Clan Tavish Is an Ancient Highland Clan)
    DISINGENUOUS INFORMATION ABOUT CLAN MACTAVISH (THE CLAN TAVISH IS AN ANCIENT HIGHLAND CLAN) BY PATRICK L. THOMPSON, CLAN MACTAVISH SEANNACHIE COPYRIGHT © 2018, PATRICK L. THOMPSON THIS DOCUMENT MAY NOT BE REPRODUCED, COPIED, OR STORED ON ANY OTHER SYSTEM WHATSOEVER, WITHOUT THE EXPRESSED WRITTEN PERMISSION OF THE AUTHOR. SANCTIONED CLAN MACTAVISH SOCIETIES OR THEIR MEMBERS MAY REPRODUCE AND USE THIS DOCUMENT WITHOUT PERMISSION OF THE AUTHOR. The more proper title of the clan is CLAN TAVISH (Scottish Gaelic: Clann Tamhais ), but it is commonly known as CLAN MACTAVISH (Scottish Gaelic: Clann MacTamhais ). The amount of disingenuous information found on the internet about Clan MacTavish is AMAZING! This document is meant to provide a clearer and truthful understanding of Clan MacTavish and its stature as recorded historically in Scotland. Certain statements/allegations made about Clan MacTavish will be addressed individually. Disingenuous statement 1: Thom(p)son is not MacTavish. That statement is extremely misleading. The Clans, Septs, and Regiments of the Scottish Highlands (CSRSH), 8th Edition, 1984, pp. 301, 554, Frank Adam, revised by Lord Lyon Sir Thomas Innes of Learney, states: pg. 111 Date of the 8th Edition of CSRSH is 1984, and pages 331 & 554 therein reflects that MacTavish is a clan, and that Thompson and Thomson are MacTavish septs. It does not say that ALL Thom(p)sons are of Clan MacTavish; as that would be a totally false assumption. Providing a reference footnote was the most expedient method to correct a long-held belief that MacTavish was a sept of Campbell, without reformatting the pages in this section.
