Storey Sept of Ogilvie Clan

2006-07-07 17:09:24Z

As a member of the Storey Name, from the Borders, I would be interested if anyone can tell me why or how we Storeys became a Sept of the Ogilvie Clan.
The Storeys are definately a Border Surname. Angus is a long way away. I can only propose links of marriage or prototection .
Any ideas ?

Admin Note re Genealogical Posts to the Clan Ogilvie Board & List

Dear Clan Ogilvie Posters:

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

Should you post genealogical queries to the Board and find them "deleted", take a look to the Ogilvie Surname Board as I likely have moved them to the surname board where they are more appropriate to the topic. [If you have a variant spelling used in your post, they may be moved to a board that shares that spelling, if it exists, otherwise they will go to Ogilvie .]

This is not to say that the Clan Ogilvie 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. Period circa 1000 through 1747 and 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.

Yours Aye,

Hello Nita:

You will want to look to Burke's Peerage. Either in book form at your library, or online. The LDS Family History Center nearest you can let you know if they have filmed Burkes Peerage, should the tomes not be availiable via your library. I suspect they have been microfilmed and you could request a copy to be sent to your local FHC.

Yours Aye,

Lauren Boyd

My wife's last name is Storey. Her great-grandfather came from the Borders area (around Roxburgh) and immigrated to Ontario. His son moved to North Dakota and the family eventually settled in Roseau County in northern Minnesota. We were just in Scotland and visited the Borders area. We were not diligently doing genealogy but did stop at the churches of Roxburgh and St. Boswell. Neither church is in full time in operation anymore. The gravestones were so worn that they were hard to read. We had the same experience in the Eckford area cemetary. As I understand, the connection of septs to a clan is not necessarily all that well documented. We also casually heard a comment about the Storey name being a well known name of the Borders. One person explained to us that many families were driven south during the Clearances in the last half of the 18th century. He offered that as the reason for the Storey name perhaps originally connected to the Olgilvy Clan regionally but later were driven south to the Borders. At the National Scottish Military Memorial in Edinburgh Castle, we also checked a directory of fallen soldiers of WWI of the King's Own Scottish Borderers regiment. I found a dozen or so entries of the Storey last name or variants of the name. I also checked the phone book of the Borders region while staying in Kelso and found only about a dozen entries of the name Storey or its variants. That was about all we discovered. The Borders is a nice area to tour. My family continues to wear the Ogilvy tartan. I follow the grand tradition started by Prince Albert and Prince Philip of proudly wearing a kilt in my wife's family tartan.

Does anyone know where I could get a complete pedigree of the Chiefs of Clan Ogilvie?
Also looking for a less confusing pedigree of the Ogilvie peerage including the Lord of Airlie and Earl of Findlater. I am trying to sort these different Ogilvie branches into families. Thanks

Clan and Associations postings

jahansen — 2001-12-12 03:48:45Z

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 05:50:25Z

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
