  • Clan Home Gathering 2018
    CLAN HOME GATHERING AUGUST 2018 The Clan Home Association is pleased to announce that the next Clan Gathering will take place in Berwickshire around the weekend of 11th-12th August 2018. The dates selected mean that Clan members, family and friends, can, if they wish, join in the activities of the Coldstream Civic Week before the Gathering and go on to the Edinburgh Festival in the week following. Figure 1 - Wedderburn Castle The organisers of the Coldstream Civic Week are very excited at the prospect of many Homes, Humes and others associated with the Clan combining with them to celebrate their Civic Week. 1 Figure 2 - Duns Castle The plan is to base the Gathering at the magnificent Wedderburn Castle, as in 2013, but also, on the assumption the numbers will justify, to use the wonderful facilities at the neighbouring Duns Castle. Given that the organisers propose an even more ambitious programme than in 2013, the aim is to make use of the next fifteen months to build interest in the events so that a record number attend the 2018 Gathering. This would of course require more facilities to be available for use by attendees. Those who would like to stay at Wedderburn Castle or Duns Castle are invited to contact the Clan Association to register an interest. Rooms will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. At present the CHA expects Wedderburn to be rented for three nights, starting 10th August, and Duns for six nights, starting from the evening of Tuesday 7th August. 2 The Association plans are still being developed, but the current thinking is that the Gathering will start formally on Wednesday 8th August with a day given over to Genealogical matters.

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.

  • Discovering Unknown Medieval Descents : a Genetic Approach – Medieval Genealogy for the Masses Graham S Holton
    Discovering unknown medieval descents : a genetic approach – medieval genealogy for the masses Graham S Holton Abstract Genetic genealogy, combining the use of documentary evidence with DNA test results, holds the potential to reveal previously unknown medieval descents for those with little documentary evidence of their ancestry. The work undertaken as part of the Battle of Bannockburn and the Declaration of Arbroath Family History Projects has developed methodologies to advance studies of this nature which are described in this article. Covering various aspects of the process including ethical issues, the role of documentary evidence and appropriate types of DNA testing, the article includes several case studies. The article argues that genetic genealogy can provide a gateway to medieval genealogy for the masses. This article examines a topic which has been central to the work we have been carrying out at Strathclyde University since 2013, as part firstly of the Battle of Bannockburn Family History Project1 and now the Declaration of Arbroath Family History Project2. Clearly everyone living today has medieval descents. Most of these are unknown, but many will be from landed gentry, noble and even royal families. This possibility provides the potential for uncovering these unknown medieval descents. How we can go about this is what I will introduce to you here. I will focus on methodologies for tracing medieval descents, based on the experience of the Battle of Bannockburn Family History Project and the Declaration of Arbroath Family History Project. These Projects consist of both a documentary and a genetic genealogy strand. The documentary strand in particular has been the major focus of the student work on these Projects, while the genetic genealogy strand is largely carried out by staff and is the area of interest in this article.

  • Clan Dunbar 2014 Tour of Scotland in August 14-26, 2014: Journal of Lyle Dunbar
    Clan Dunbar 2014 Tour of Scotland in August 14-26, 2014: Journal of Lyle Dunbar Introduction The Clan Dunbar 2014 Tour of Scotland from August 14-26, 2014, was organized for Clan Dunbar members with the primary objective to visit sites associated with the Dunbar family history in Scotland. This Clan Dunbar 2014 Tour of Scotland focused on Dunbar family history at sites in southeast Scotland around Dunbar town and Dunbar Castle, and in the northern highlands and Moray. Lyle Dunbar, a Clan Dunbar member from San Diego, CA, participated in both the 2014 tour, as well as a previous Clan Dunbar 2009 Tour of Scotland, which focused on the Dunbar family history in the southern border regions of Scotland, the northern border regions of England, the Isle of Mann, and the areas in southeast Scotland around the town of Dunbar and Dunbar Castle. The research from the 2009 trip was included in Lyle Dunbar’s book entitled House of Dunbar- The Rise and Fall of a Scottish Noble Family, Part I-The Earls of Dunbar, recently published in May, 2014. Part I documented the early Dunbar family history associated with the Earls of Dunbar from the founding of the earldom in 1072, through the forfeiture of the earldom forced by King James I of Scotland in 1435. Lyle Dunbar is in the process of completing a second installment of the book entitled House of Dunbar- The Rise and Fall of a Scottish Noble Family, Part II- After the Fall, which will document the history of the Dunbar family in Scotland after the fall of the earldom of Dunbar in 1435, through the mid-1700s, when many Scots, including his ancestors, left Scotland for America.
