Clan MacLeod - Family History & Genealogy Message Board

Re: Ancestors postings

Norman MacLeod, Isle of Harris, Born March 24 1802.
We need information on his parents and any other relatives. Or information or suggestions on how to research his family further back in time in Scotland. We know he married Catharine Morrsion and they came to America in 1852 aboard the "Sea Nymph" with their large family of about 8 children. We also know they settled in upstate NY (cities of Leicester in 1869 census and city of York in the 1870 census). I also believe Norman died in York in 1880. We need help learning how to research his roots further back in Scotland.

Admin Note re Genealogical Posts to the Clan MacLEOD Board

modusa — 2006-11-22 23:11:58Z

Dear Clan MacLeod Posters:

Please bear in mind that the genealogical portion of the Clan MacLeod list and board should keep within the time frame of the clan system's being active in Scotland. This would be up through 1745-47, as the clan system was quashed following the Jacobite Wars.

Should you post genealogical queries to the board and find them no longer there, take a look at the MacLeod surname board, as they have likely been moved there, where they are more appropriate to the topic. If you have a varient spelling used in your post, it may be moved to a board that shares that spelling, if it exists; otherwise it will go to MacLeod.

This is not to say that the Clan MacLeod list and board are not for genealogical queries and posts. This is to provide a reminder that they are *clan* specific and not general in time and place. Their period is circa 1000 through 1747 and place is Scotland, Ireland, Europe in geographic nature. Think of those under the clan system and where they would have been, as such; where and when their Chiefs resided; origins of the name and time frame/locations descended from.

Remember that clan lists and boards are more inclusive than strictly Genealogy and History, but that there are guidelines as posted by John Hansen when he created the Boards.

What was the source of the pic? I really like that plaid. It is similar to the McLeod's of Lewis plaid.

Thanks for your reply, I'll check it out.

My understanding is this site is pretty accurate:
http://www.macleodgenealogy.org/
It includes the tartans of the clans

Re: Plaid pattern and color for McLeod

2005-12-24 14:32:55Z

I think you will find three plaids. Some Scots freak out when you call them plaids instead of tartans.

One tartan is a hideous yellow and black. Another is predominantly green and the other a brownish color. Some stories I have heard are that the yellow is the tartan of the McLeods (MacLeods) of Skye and the other two for the clans on harris and Lewis. Try a libarry for some history of the clans of Scotland.

Good Luck

The above was supposed to be in the thread regarding the RED MAN...sorry for its being misplaced

UPDATE

LoriWilke51 — 2005-11-11 16:12:38Z

I originally posted this question due to the notes of a deceased cousin who researched our family line.

A cousin participated in the DNA testing and its results have proven that my GGG Grandfather has no probability of descending through the Wicked Red Man, Norman MacLeod, 22nd Chief.

Re: MacFARLANE / MacLEOD Genealogy

DavidSmith277 — 2005-04-04 11:26:55Z

I see both of these families in Bill Lawson's book. Murdo did marry Kirsty MacLeod. She was the daughter of Murdo MacLeod (son of Donald) b. 1801 at Mid Borve. His wife was Ann Murray (daughter of Allan) b. 1806 at North Galson.
Murdo and his family emigrated from Mid Borve in 1851 and settled in Huron Township Bruce County.
There ia additional info available in the book--if you would like scans or copies, email me at smithd@vaniercollege.qc.ca Cheers!

My husband's great great grandmother was Margaret MCLEOD, b. abt. 1807 in Glengarry County, ON. In 1836 she married Reuel A. PIERCE (b. Vermont, U.S. abt. 1811) in Carleton County, ON. They settled in Fitzroy Twp., Carleton Co. on Con 12, Lot 12. I have no parents or exact birthplace for Margaret (or Reuel) & would appreciate any ideas. Thank you!

Clan and Associations postings

jahansen — 2001-12-12 03:35:14Z

Dear All:

This thread/topic is intended as a forum for the
Clan to post their Notices and the Clan Associations
to post their web sites, notices of meetings and
gatherings. Even Newsletters ( by permission of the
Clan officials) are permitted here.

The correct procedure for posting here is to:
A: do a reply to this message. Erase the subject heading
above and then >
B: enter the name of your association and connection
to the clan.
C: Follow on postings are then replied to that unique
association. I would think that subject and dates
would then be appropriate subject headings.

The intention is to allow the Clan to have a thread
and each respective association to have a thread that
it can maintain with its newsletters and notices.
That way the basic thread of the association can be
referenced by URL in emails and other web sites.

Please forward this message to the Clan headquarters office,
its international associations and
other affiliated groups that may be interested in
posting here. Posting this notice to the Surnames message boards
and Surname mailing list or sending to Secretary of the
Clan, the Clan Associations and the Septs of the Clan
would also be appreciated.

Best Regards
John A Hansen
Board Admin

Ancestors postings

jahansen — 2001-12-11 05:37:21Z

Dear All:

Please start a separate sub-thread under this
thread ( just do a reply) for each Clan ancestor.

The thread on this board (and the mailing list) is intended for
comments, hints on how to locate, and discussions
on those distant ancestors ( sometimes brick walls) that are
very hard to locate. Anyone with knowledge of the
Clan Ancestors or searching for ancestors and especially
the Clan Genealogist are especially encouraged to post
their finding on the Clan ancestors.

Please do not use this board for merely looking for
recent descendants. That function is better in the
Surname message boards and mailing lists.

Use the standard procedure in the subject header of
inserting your family ancestor information in the following format
NAME > location > dates

Best Wishes and Happy Hunting to All
