This genealogy database idea is a difficult thing. It takes many years of intensive effort to build such a resource. Tree is linked to the clan site, but maintains his own site because his database is set up on his own computer and it is easy for ...

Would you please double-check whether surname was spelled as Mure or Muir. This does not infer that Muir was the accepted spelling in this family. It is simply ruling in or out how to look for info.

Let's have another shot at this. If you are not too tired, you could do some solid research and confirm that what I am giving you is indeed correct. I don't want to see people writing and throwing around dates and wild assumptions that have no bas...

David J Moir, HC-NZ replied to Carol Muir Fauster, Clan Muir HC Regional South Midwest USA's discussion 'Devices on Coat of Arms: Possible Info/Leads'

By references, I mean a dedicated genealogical library run by the National Library in Wellington. At Auckland Public Library and in Dunedin Public Library there are also dedicated genealogical libraries. All of these have thousands of books and re...

Carol...if you are going to Kansas, is this the destination where you have old info stored. I was thinking of that scottish poetry you said had reference to a More who had done well at the Crusades was provided with lands in Ireland, and who then ...

Discipline when researching

A tip for researchers.

When someone is writing an essay, or is writing an account of research undertaken, one of the key rules is:
- is this relevant?
- is this a red herring?
It is important to keep focussed.

When you are doing general discovery, naturally you won't know what you'll find. So make your notes, then afterward, sort them by general category, eg Rowallan, or Caldwell, etc. Then do a sub-sort into topics, eg lands, genealogy, heraldry, etc

Online banner page heading

[ Draft ]You are doing marvels with site presentation. This heading accords with personal likes. ie subject matter, colouring. Is that Lady Godiva on the white charger. The rampant lions... are they purely decorative or is their some symbolism. The lion on right is clinging onto the wall. Hope he doesn't fall off.
The colour selection for the page ie two shades of brown with a touch of purple, I find very satisfying. Overall a nice job. Dave Moir

It is great to think that we are in contact half way around the world. Yours, Chief Andrew

Always good to hear from you.

The main way anyone can help me is just to keep me posted on when anyone else has queries about MUIR genealogy. Always glad to help, but sometimes miss the posts (at least for awhile). My e-mail (and anyone's welcome to write me there) is: tree9616@aol.com

Again, thanks.

Sincerely,
Randy

Well in Marlyand we enjoy Family, The Beach, and Seafood. I'm a fan of racing and have a pretty wicked race car. My wife is getting into traveling more, but her time is consumed, by our daughter. My daughter is pretty little she likes to smile and giggle mostly. Well Dave tack care, and throw some shrimp on the barbi, for us. LOL

Moore is my maternal line. The photo is a Lamont castle ruin (Toward Castle) from my paternal sign. My 7G grandfather changed his name from Lamont to Young after this massacre in 1646.
