I am sorry this newsletter is late going out but it is not entirely my fault. The newsletter is made up of news and photographs sent in by branches of the Clan Society which to be helpful should be sent to the editor before the end of December. Please start collecting photographs and news for newsletter number 61 now!! During the past year Alice Fairhurst (USA) has been appointed DNA Project Administrator for the Clan and has registered the Clan for DNA testing. She has also taken over as Genealogist for the United States, and has brought a stack of information about Mathesons not only in North America but also Scotland and elsewhere and in her spare time she has been indexing and in parts updating the 1900 Clan History. I, and I am sure many others, not only in the United States, will be most grateful to her for giving so much of her time by taking on this arduous work, a benefit to all members of the Clan.

  • Scottish Genealogist Cumulative Index 1953 - 2005
    SCOTTISH GENEALOGIST CUMULATIVE INDEX 1953 - 2005 Compiled by Dr. James D. Floyd John & Margaret Kinnaird D. 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.

    Lords of Scotland di Richard James. Contenuto: 98 carte clans, 1 Initiative card, 1 regolamento. I giocatori hanno a disposizione 5 round per reclutare clans (carte) e prepararsi alla schermaglia. Al termine dei round i giocatori, secondo l’ordine di forza ottenuta nella schermaglia (dal primo a seguire), rivendicano le carte “supporter” (punteggio). Le schermaglie si susseguono fino a quando un giocatore raggiunge i 40 punti ed è dichiarato vincitore. Preparazione : Il giocatore più anziano (o uno a sorte) prende la Initiative card. (Successivamente sarà aggiudicata dal vincitore della schermaglia appena conclusa). Nelle prime partite è consigliato rimuovere le 2 carte “Bruce clan” -Mescolare le carte e distribuirne 5 ad ogni giocatore. -Creare una fila di 5 carte coperte (Recruit Pile) accanto al mazzo posto tra i giocatori. -Creare una fila di carte scoperte (Supporter Pile) a seconda del numero di giocatori (2 carte in 2, 3 carte in 3…). Se tutte le carte supporter sono dello stesso valore si scartano e se ne pescano altre dal mazzo. -Le rimanenti carte formano il mazzo “Draw Pile”. Se il mazzo si esaurisce, mischiare le carte scartate e ricomporre un nuovo mazzo. Svolgimento : I giocatori hanno 5 round per prepararsi alla schermaglia e risolverla. In ogni round: 1 Il giocatore in possesso della “Initiative card”, all’inizio di ogni suo round, gira a faccia in su una delle 5 carte coperte della “Recruit Pile”. (questo funge da indicatore del numero di round trascorsi dall’inizio della schermaglia) 2 Cominciando dal possessore della “Initiative card” e proseguendo in senso orario, ogni giocatore ha a disposizione due opzioni: - O prendere una carta clan dalla “Recruit Pile” (questa opzione è possibile solo se il giocatore ha meno di 10 carte in mano).

I remain deeply in debt to the inspiration and mentorship of David Spring. Preface In this list cadet, associated, and stem families are arranged in a single entry when substantial property passed between one and the other providing continuity of parliamentary representation (even, as was the case in a few instances, when no blood or marriage relationship existed). Subsidiary/cadet families are usually grouped under the oldest, richest, or most influential stem family. Female MPs are counted with their birth families, or, if not born into a parliamentary family, with their husband’s family.
