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

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

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

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

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

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?).

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

We have a 65/67 match* with a RICHMOND that should bear examination. Family information known, yet to be explored, is that an Andrew, born about 1807 in Scotland, turned up in New York, where there was a son Alexander born in 1845. * 65/67 to what is shaping up as the modal dna signature for Lineage 1, that of Jerry (R-2)

DNA Surnames has been fully republished, with yet more of the RUNCIMAN data that really belongs on the One Name Study pages now being either shifted to there, or linked to from there, particularly for descendancy charts. Some DNA conclusions have been updated to reflect current results and matches.

As mentioned in passing on the Rootsweb RUNCIMAN Mailing List, the mystery of exactly how the Michigan families connect to the Wanton Walls line, and to each other has been solved.  Family stories say that a brother went to London, died young, and the young children were brought up at Wanton Walls. Some stories say that James and William were cousins, some say they were brothers. James (marr.

Thought it was time to recheck the Glasgow University RUNCIMAN graduates (between 1451 and 1896). Only 6, all are identified. The two Davids belong to Lineage 1a (the WantonWalls, Earlston line), James Watson and William RUNCIMAN are cousins belonging to lineage 1b (William of Crail branch), and Agatha Rachel RUNCIMAN - M.A. 1902 - also belonging to lineage 1b (Thomas & Alison (GRIEVE) branch,

Rimsenden on ancestry, Runcember on findmypast, no wonder the family couldn't be found initially in the 1871 census.

If you haven't yet found WeRelate, check out the RUNCIMAN families that can be found there. As it is a free, genealogy focused Wiki, you can contribute your own corrections and updates there. Consider registering and uploading your own RUNCIMAN family, merging with the existing ones if necessary, to help build an excellent register of known RUNCIMANs. Also keep an eye on (and add links to) the

Alan's page of military RUNCIMANs led to a recheck of what all was available for the 3 or 4  David RUNCIMANs born around 1800. The 1841 census had a family at Heatherly in Selkirkshire, where all of the family, except the youngest daughter Jean, were born "Scotland". Wonder when Gibraltar became part of Scotland ?? Marion later shows up as Mary Ann, born Gibraltar, and her marriage entry (to

Most of the recent change index entries can be ignored. They are part of a behind the scenes database merge, and resultant tidy-up - particularly because the attempt to make the indexes rather more informative resulted, initially, in the wrong version of the names being used on the person pages. Should be remedied now. The new information is that for George, dry goods merchant of Annapolis and

The background rationalisation of what is where continues, still hopefully seamlessly to anyone browsing the assorted RUNCIMAN pages. Links on the Summary Patriarchs Page have been checked and corrected so that: - any DNA Testee link goes to their personal page in the Runciman DNA Project - any (R-n) link goes to their result line in the Summary Result page - any other name/lineage person link

The Lineage section of the One Name Study pages now also includes those researchers from the DNA project that were missed in the initial update, and the Wanted! pages have had a bit of a tweak from that converted over from the DNA pages. Should now more clearly show which lines still need a representative, and which need clarifications etc. This should have brought all of the person and lineage

The One Name Study, and DNA project pages have been revamped, hopefully seamlessly from a user viewpoint. A Lineages section has been added to the One Name Study site where all, you guessed it, lineage information is available - as opposed to Analysis information which is organised by area and country rather than actual people and lineages. The Wanted! section from the DNA project has been moved

This posting on the Rootsweb Runciman Message Board prompted the addition of a few twigs to the Patriarchs page for the family of George & Janet (DARLING) RUNCIMAN, namely their son Thomas and wife Jane MOSSMAN and son Thomas (marr.

If you have bookmarked lineage pages in the RUNCIMAN Surname DNA project supplementary pages you may find they have changed. The pages have had a bit of a revamp, with most of the descendant charts being brought up to date into the more interactive format where you can expand/collapse assorted lines to get a better view of how your person of interest fits. In doing so, Lineages 1b and 1c were

Three potentially inter-related families have been added to the Patriarchs page of the DNA Project. Those of: - James and Mary (GRAHAM) RUNCIMAN - George and Mary (McINTYRE) RUNCIMAN and - George and Mary (DAVIDSON) RUNCIMAN Some discussion on this latter family can be found on the RUNCIMAN Mailing List (for search terms, put Hector in the body and RUNCIMAN in the List boxes).
