The Perth connection - or not?

A lot of the recent changes between the 6th and today are tidy-ups of the remnants of the background changes to make the assorted sites easier to maintain and link.
Exceptions are the inclusion of George, the Perth connection sometimes suggested for Thomas of Innerwick, and of his wife Alison GRIEVE with an alternate set of parents to those sometimes suggested.
Also a WHITECROSS tree highlighting the assorted RUNCIMAN connections along with how the assorted WHITECROSSes are related.

Runcimans Where?

Those listed on the Recent Changes for 6th May are all newly included on the One Name Study pages but not new lineages.
Decided it was time to get a few more pins on the map!
As the introduction for the lineage location page states this map is distinct from the map(s) in the Analysis section in that it involves individuals as opposed to summary place/surname data.
Both place pages have been added to the sidebar menu for easier access.

The former shows only birth (green) and death (red) information for those included on the site where these places have been geo-coded - a growing number, but a lot yet to come.

Zoom in for finer details and click on the balloon to see who is associated with each place shown.

Where births and deaths occur at the same place you may have to zoom to the closest level possible to see both coloured balloons.

Suggestions for people (no longer living) to include to show the dispersion of the RUNCIMAN surname across the globe are welcome, e.g. the first of a branch to reach a new country/county/state.

RUNCHMAN for a change

The Edward RUNCHMAN on today's Recent Change index is the taster for a tree beginning to be included on the One Name Study pages. Interesting set of surname variants, earliest forbear so far is a John RUNSHIMAN from Cornill in Northumberland.  Descendants named variously RUNSIMAN, RUNCEMAN before settling on RUNCHMAN down to close to present day.  
Edward settled, with his mother Cherry CAMBPELL, in New Brunswick (which is how William of the VALLANCE line was also found)

And now New Brunswick

The family of George and Agnes (VALLANCE) RUNCIMAN, some of whom ended up in Annapolis, has been updated to include a newfound branch in New Brunswick, that of William & Jeanie (MacAULAY) RUNCIMAN. Perhaps this branch may have some living RUNCIMAN  descendants interested in helping document their family history?
This tree has been included on WeRelate for anyone interested in sharing information, and links added to/from their One Name Study pages.

WeRelate

The recent changes entries on the One Name Study pages for the Inchture family of John & Susan (DONALDSON) RUNCIMAN's family are to include links to (and from) their entries on WeRelate rather than any particularly new information.
As the prior post on WeRelate states, it is a genealogy wiki where you can share your finds. Any pages you update will be added to your "watchlist" and subsequent updates notified to you.

2 day DNA Discount

If any of you are interested in exploring which group of RUNCIMANs you most closely relate to, you may be interested to see that Family Tree DNA, the company we use for the RUNCIMAN Surname DNA project, is having a 2day sale (finishes midnight Sat Apr 21st (?Houston time?).

If you do decide to join, and a sale is an excellent time to do so, make sure that you follow the order link from the project to automatically be enrolled in the RUNCIMAN project. Privacy can be guaranteed, all those named on the project pages have agreed to be so shown.

is the order link, but make sure you are getting the prices shown below

Check out the One Name Study Wanted! pages
http://runciman.lornahen.com/lineages/cpruncimanwanted.htm
for those lines particularly wanted to see who fits where, and the summary DNA project pages to see if your line is already represented
http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/runciman/results
Joining the project already makes you eligible for a project discount, but the prices have been discounted further:
To be of relevance for the RUNCIMAN project the person testing has to be a direct male line RUNCIMAN, sorry about the discrimination, but anyone descended via the female line doesn't have the Y-dna passed down the chain from father to son.
Current Group price/SALE PRICE
Y-DNA 37 $149 / $129
or
Y-DNA 67 $238 / $199
would be the best for the project but the following may be of personal interest:

Family Finder $289 / $199
FF+ Y-DNA 37 $438 / $328
FF + mtDNAPlus $438 / $328
Comprehensive (FF + FMS + Y-DNA 67) $797 / $657

Upgrades
Y-DNA 12-37 Marker $99/ $69
Y-DNA 37-67 Marker $99/ $79
Y-DNA 12-67 Marker $199/ $148
Family Finder add-on $289 / $199

Any questions, just ask, this is a very good opportunity to expand our knowledge of how the RUNCIMAN families may, or may not relate.

Places

The lineage section of the One Name Study has been updated.
A place index, and a map have been included on the site.
The map shows all birth and death places where geocoding has been added to the birth/death place for anyone included on the site - it's a wonderful way to check the geocoding as you find events out in the middle of the ocean where they were not, in general, born!

Check the recent changes index for included people that have been updated in some way.
In addition several trees may well have updated information on them now, eg that for the Inchture family of James and Susan (DONALDSON) RUNCIMAN, whose son James has now been included, given recent correspondence about the family.
