Hello Lauren M. Boyd, FSA Scot
President, Scottish Information Society
http://www.scottishinfo.org;
I had an inquiry (see below) from one of the list members of our
RootsWeb Carruthers-L's List. Our Carruthers are interested in your
activities.
I note you also ref dna projects. Many of the RootsWeb surname Lists are
conducting dna matching.
(You should know that some (more?) of the dna labs limit the sharing to just
one 'other' destination. In fact, our Witherington [Northumberland area of
upper UK] dna project did opt to use its 2d destination for the Border
Reivers project. You may want to contact them.)
In any event, what are the 'Games' you reference?

Dear Clan Representatives:
The Scottish Information Society (SIS), formed 1987, is comprised of and
exists in support of those who volunteer their time at the clan tents,
working events at various venues. One member delegate from each Clan,
House or Scottish Society is
invited to join to represent their officially recognized clan/society
organization.
We are in the process of revamping our web site
http://www.scottishinfo.org
It is currently off line, however, it is our hope to have it back up and
functional before the end of April. We hope to include many helpful
elements for the public to view. Currently one of the major projects in
process is a comprehensive games listing for all 50 US states. In future,
we hope to be able to add an International games listing.
I would appreciate it if you would email me directly at
confido(a)ix.netcom.com with:
the most current contact information for your Clan, especially:
the name of your Chief the names and contact information for those that
convene your tents or are area commissioners the name and contact
information for your genealogist(s)
-the name and contact information for your clan historian(s)
- the name and contact information for your editor(s)
-the name of your clan newsletter and frequency of publication
-the URL/information re your clan's official discussion group... is it this
list at Rootsweb? or is it different?
-the name and contact information for whoever may be in charge of your DNA
project
- the URL for your clan's OFFICIALLY sanctioned website -- sorry no personal
or non-sanctioned sites can be linked
Additonally, SIS, will have a tent at the upcoming Sacramento Valley
(California) Caledonia Club Games, in Woodland, California, at the end of
April. If you will send some information regarding your clan, we will be
pleased to have it on hand, whether or not your representative is able to
attend and host a tent at the event.
We would also appreciate your mailing a copy or copies of your newsletter,
in order
that we may share with the public part of what your clan has to offer to
its members.
If you manage, sponsor or sanction DNA projects for your clan, please mail
information
regarding the project(s) and we will make it available at the tent for
those interested.
Also, for those of you interested, there is a Scot DNA project that all
Scots and Scot Clans are welcome to join or share DNA results with, no
matter which service you used. John Hansen is the Project Manager. You
will find more information about this project at
http://www.scottishdna.net and also in the Scot-DNA(a)rootsweb.com
list archives. Details re that list will be found here:
http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/intl/SCT/SCOT-DNA.html
Write me off list and I will provide the postal mailing addresss for
receipt of
your printed materials.
Thank you. And thanks to all of your volunteers which give so generously
and unselfishly
of their time to share with and educate the public about your Clan's
history and
that of Scotland. It is they who keep the tradtions alive.
Suas Alba!
Yours Aye,

Please understand that due to the shear magnitude of the number
of recipients, I cannot respond to friendly notes that include
genealogical information and queries that may be triggered by
my post. Please do post to the list and also consider joining
and becoming active in your Scottish clan's organization.
