Am beginning with a May 26, 2020 which I think I've already posted in this blog, and then jumping to some family genealogical history from the last few days below :)

Mark, Sandy, All
One issue that WikiTree's plans for 7.5 billion people will add re the Mormon Church's genealogy, and others', is diversity: "WikiTree: Together we're growing an accurate single family tree using DNA and traditional genealogical sources." (Am recalling Alex Haley's "Roots" book from the '70s even in these regards).
Will check out Family Search with time, Mark! (But could this be integrated too with a Stanford / Google / WikiTree / Ancestry .com approach to Ancestry family genealogy software (re their entrepreneurialism, and since A is probably making money)?:) Looks like WikiTree possibly has a 256 ancestor limit, I just noticed. Thanks!
Warm regards, Scott
Sandy: What would make a great artist-in-residence position at a university? (see below).
Thanks, Mark (from this morning):
"Scott,
One excellent and free source of genealogical info is Family Search. A bit clumsy interface but it's run my the Mormon church - a group that takes genealogy seriously! I find their record collection to be excellent.
Mark"
And my reply to Mark this morning:
Mark:
Thanks, and interesting (re Family Search).
Hank Greely re Ancestry .com and DNA yesterday ...
"I've the data download from Ancestry as well as a moderately deep Y chromosome analysis. John & I just haven't figured out a way to compare codes."
https://twitter.com/
https://twitter.com/
Will genetics' textbooks be re-written remarkably for 'trait' language in next 10-20 years per the sentence ...
"To aid in the interpretation and sharing of genomes, Church, in 2005, initiated the Personal Genome Project (PGP),[63] which provides the world's only open-access human genome and trait data sets.[64][65][66] " (https://en.wikipedia.org/
... which genealogists will then explore for their own family genealogy/history? (Have you ever checked out a genetics' textbook for your genealogy research? I haven't yet).
Am glad Stanford Law Prof Hank Greely is Tweeting about Ancestry. Maybe Google / Stanford will get their hands' on Ancestry .com software - https://scott-macleod.One issue that WikiTree's plans for 7.5 billion people will add re the Mormon Church's genealogy, and others', is diversity: "WikiTree: Together we're growing an accurate single family tree using DNA and traditional genealogical sources."

Hi Mark and All,
I just received an email from my Ancestry .com account, from your family tree - thank YOU perhaps, I presume - and was able to access this Isobel MacKenzie, mother of great great grandfather James Edward McLeod of the Isle of Raasay from the mid 1800s - https://www.ancestry.com/
Am seeking to make genealogical family scholarly resources available in these email threads too, and on both of these platforms for subsequent family researches and more!
Here's my Ancestry .com profile - https://www.ancestry.com/
Part of my thinking for this weekend's free "WikiTree "Connect-A-Thon" - https://www.wikitree.com/
My mother said she got back her Ancestry .com DNA results, but doesn't have a monthly subscription to Ancestry .com and it sounds like she's not planning to get one (but while she's a two computer user, I don't think computer-based genealogy is her thing too much).
But, Ma, perhaps I'll explore how it might be possible to add your new Ancestry .com DNA results to my WikiTree family tree with DNA with time! :) Hopefully this will be cross-platform compatible in multiple ways - and with regards to my big educational project even too! Have any of you had experience with getting DNA results from one platform and adding them to another platform?
I've noticed some of you have Ancestry .com family tree accounts and have done DNA analyses too, but I haven't noticed if many of you have WikiTree family tree accounts. Let's share information on both platforms with time, if you're inclined! This sharing is a real strength of the internet! :)
Warm regards,
Scott

Hi Susan, (and Ma and Edith),
Just shared the following with you and family from sgkmacleod@
Family regards,
Scott
WikiTree Family News
Mark, and Family,
I just signed up (by this evening's deadline) for this free WikiTree "Connect-A-Thon" - https://www.wikitree.com/
Sign me up! Thanks!
Am interested in a) my family tree, b) a single family tree for all 7.5 billion people (each a Wikidata PIN # forked from a Wikidata Q-item # in its 300 languages) re WUaS, c) the genetics of family genealogy, d) developing a learning conversation between different genealogy software (ie WikiTree and Ancestry for knowledge generation, on both platforms).
Thanks, Scott
If any of you are interested, please sign up and let me know. Am going to take this semi-social online focused WikiTree opportunity to build out my family tree here a bit, probably in Ancestry.com, as well as my own web pages for family history, - and in communication with knowledgeable WikiTree folks. *
Scott,
In the process of building trees in Ancestry, it often happens that you end up with duplicate people. One option is simply to delete the dupes. But, if there is good info in each copy, Ancestry allows you to 'Merge with Duplicate'. It's under 'Tools' when looking at an individual's profile.
I believe the 'Edward' in James MacLeod is made up. I have not found the middle name used in any document like a census record. A genealogist in Raasay, Norma MacLeod, said the use of Edward in that time period would be highly unusual.
I see that you've copied Lachlan MacLeod into your tree. He was found after many months of work! But I'm sure he's one of James' brothers. Lots of DNA matches led me to Lachlan, along with a tip from Norma.
I'll send you a link to a funny article from the Wall Street Journal. I think it applies!
All the best,
Mark
*
Here's a neat thing:
I've also had my DNA analysed by FTDNA and they do a special 'Y-DNA' test that looks back on the male side many more generations than the Ancestry test. It gets pretty technical but a descendant of the 15th chief of Raasay (who was Louden H MacLeod) also had is Y-DNA tested by FTDNA. And we match!

Mark,
Thanks so much. I just tried the first merge of James Edward McLeod with a first duplicate, and will see how it goes, - and what other ones are still available later.
Will keep the Edward as middle name, as unique an identifier as possible, - and re what I've learned over the years.
I continue to be amazed at what your research uncovers - like "And, as to Mary Makela's husband Anthony Barra, his great grandfather was Michele Barra, born 1867 in Turin, Italy" in your May 11, 2020 email (but who may be the CEO in the MIT Solve video, and not a direct relative ... but that you found her info in Ancestry .com ???? Is she a relative of ours, do you know her, and how open in Ancestry .com to finding non-family members ancestry, and for whom? (Like might I be able to find Zoe Bentley's ancestry, an online friend from the Boston area, and a programmer too, for example)?
Thanks for the WSJ article ... more later!
All the best, Scott

Very cool, Mark ... need to think about this further in a variety of ways. (Am not a geneticist! :))
Warm regards, Scott
PS
Am likely to fly to Boston in early August, and self-quarantine on Cuttyhunk for 2 weeks and stay probably a bit longer. Alas - no MacLeod family reunion in Maine this year! My mother said yesterday that if my brother Sandy were to come to Cuttyhunk this summer, he said he would have to return to Maine and self-quarantine for 2 weeks ... re Massachusetts - Maine differences! :0)

Scott,
The 'sweet spot' for finding people in Ancestry is around 1900-1940 in the US. That said, they have an incredible amount of other info for billions of people from around the world. Canada and the UK are certainly well covered.
There is no need for an individual to be a family member to search for their details. Living people are under-represented as you might expect given privacy matters and timing. However, I can often find at least a birth date of a living person in Ancestry. So, search away!
Good luck!
Mark

Thanks so much, Mark!
Will keep exploring Ancestry and potentially in conversation with WikiTree this weekend. But I just tried to search for you, Mark K MacLeod, in member search - https://www.ancestry.com/
A main focus I think this weekend, as I've mentioned, is to further develop my own family history narratives - http://scottmacleod.com/

Mark,
Am just getting into the WikiTree "Connect-A-Thon" and am asking how to add my and my mother's DNA test results from Ancestry .com to WikiTree. Am thinking about asking how I might add yours as well,
regarding your:
I've also had my DNA analysed by FTDNA and they do a special 'Y-DNA' test that looks back on the male side many more generations than the Ancestry test. It gets pretty technical but a descendant of the 15th chief of Raasay (who was Louden H MacLeod) also had is Y-DNA tested by FTDNA. And we match!
Would this be alright with you?
Regards, Scott
My questions:
How please could I add DNA test results for my mother from another platform (from Ancestry .com) to my WikiTree profile - and when she's not an Ancestry .com subscriber? (Am planning to add my DNA test results from Ancestry too).
not yet asked
(And if I had my first cousin's permission, Mark K MacLeod, how please could I, or he, add his test results from 2 platforms - (FTDNA's 'Y-DNA' test and Ancestry .com)?
Thank you.

Dear Alden, Mark, family genealogists and family historians in the future, and All, ...
Am exploring the WikiTree "Connect-A-Thon" and am asking how to add my and my mother's DNA test results from Ancestry .com to WikiTree. Just received this information to a question I posted - "Connecting DNA Test Results to WikiTree Profiles" ... https://www.wikitree.com/
regarding his:

Asked him, would this be alright with you? But will get on with the above new answer to my questions first.

Dear Ma (Janie) & Alden (Browns), Mark & Gerrard (MacLeods), and Family, All,
Am making some headway with the free, open, well-designed WikiTree genealogy software, but am going to stay a bit off the bleeding edge re adding my AncestryDNA test results cross-platform to WikiTree, until WikiTree iterates on their platform a bit further for even greater ease of use.
Ma and Alden, I further just created a new WikiTree page for your grandmother's brother Theodore Lincoln Chadbourne - https://www.wikitree.com/
Lincoln (1870-1951) was the older brother of Martha Holway Chadbourne (1871-1909), who with his wife, Ginny (Virginia Knox) raised Alexander "Sandy" Chadbourne Brown, Mary Chadbourne Brown, and Martha Holway Brown (when they were young), because their mother (1871-1909) passed away giving birth to Martha Holway Brown. Their father, Alden Hugh Brown, a mining engineer, died in Colombia when these children were fairly young too.
source: https://www.genealogy.com/ftm/
source: https://www.genealogy.com/ftm/
Martha Holway Brown, my great "Aunt Marf" or Aunt Martha - who was indeed great :) - was the mother of Alden, and lived much of her life in Lakeville, Connecticut (in the NW part of the state), on Silent Meadow Farm, where Alden grew up I think. (I welcome your additions or knowledge corrections to all of this).
(I'm finding WikiTree's software to be somewhat easy to use (and it's probably come through numerous iterations in recent years improving it!). And this WikiTree Connect-A-Thon is helping to focus my engagement with it, and also a conversation in a sense between platforms :)
Mark, I added your Ancestry .com page as a reference her - http://scottmacleod.com/
I've also significantly (and finally) updated this page - http://scottmacleod.com/
Am hoping this will all be helpful or useful to future family historians.
Friendly family regards, Scotty

I've just gone through a 2 hour Ancestry . com journey of adding all the places I've lived that I can recall, and some degrees and much more! I've created a record for myself as well due to the web's fungibility!
Su July 19, 2020
I’ve begun to add addresses of where I’ve lived, and a little description too, to my Ancestry .com facts’ page, and seek to put this down here too:

31 Dec 1960
Lexington, Middlesex, Massachusetts, USA
I was born in Mt. Auburn Hospital in Cambridge, MA, but my parents were living in Lexington, MA. My father was doing his medical residency in Harvard-related institutions. We then moved to Cambridge, and after to the backside of Beacon Hill to live.
Birth of Brother Alexander "Sandy" Brown MacLeod(1964–)
5 Oct 1964 • Cambridge, Middlesex, Massachusetts, USA
1966
Cuttyhunk island, Massachusetts, USA
My family first started going to Cuttyhunk island, MA, in 1966, and we stayed in both the Allen House, and the Bosworth House, 2 inns, in those first years. We've continued to go back every summer since, beginning to rent Piney's House around 1969 or so
Cuttyhunk island, Massachusetts
My family first started going to Cuttyhunk island, MA, in 1966, and we stayed in both the Allen House, and the Bosworth House, 2 inns, in those first years. We've continued to go back every summer since, beginning to rent Piney's House around 1969 or so, renting it from the niece of Hetty Shepherd Wheeler (a dean at former women's college in the Boston area), named Betty Garretson, and thanks to having learned about Piney's House (a Walpole cottage) from Eleanor Moore (Granny Moore), whom my parents knew through the Unitarian Universalist church in the Boston area. My father, growing up in the Boston area, had first gone to Cuttyhunk island as a kid in the 1930s, I think.
1966
Hamden, New Haven, Connecticut, USA
My family, Gordon K. MacLeod MD, Janet Brown MacLeod, and younger brother, Sandy MacLeod moved to Hamden, CT, when my father joined the Yale faculty.
moved to New Haven, CT, in the middle of the 1960s
My family, Gordon K. MacLeod MD, Janet Brown MacLeod, and younger brother, Sandy MacLeod moved to Hamden, CT, when my father joined the Yale faculty. I first went to Putnam Street School, then Newhall Street School in Hamden, for 2nd-5th grade, then Ridge Hill School, a brand new school architecturally designed with open classrooms, and with names like Apollo and Gemini, (re the remarkable US space program then). Open classroom schools were a radical re-envisioning of education. (After one year at Ridge Hill School around 1971, I think, my family moved to the DC area, where I attended another open classroom school, Green Acres School in Rockville, MD, (inspired by John Dewey), where I attended 6th, and 7th grade, but for 6th months of which, my family all lived in Geneva, Switzerland.
1972

1979
Shady Side Academy high school diploma
I received my high school diploma in 1979 from Shady Side Academy in Fox Chapel, PA, near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
1979
Reed College, Portland, Oregon
I moved to Reed College in 1979 to study there. I lived in and around Reed from 1979-1987
1979-1987
Portland, Clackamas, Oregon, USA
I moved to Portland, OR, from Pittsburgh, PA, to attend Reed College. I lived the first semester in the Sisson dormitory (cross-Canyon), and then moved into a 'communal' Reed house in January 1980 on Clinton St. in SE Portland near People's Food Co-op
Reed College years in Portland, Oregon
I moved to Portland, OR, from Pittsburgh, PA, to attend Reed College in 1979, and lived there on and off until 1987, when I moved to the Philadelphia area. At Reed, I lived the first semester in the Sisson dormitory (cross-Canyon), and then moved into a 'communal' Reed house in January 1980 on Clinton St. in SE Portland near People's Food Co-op. I hiked the Pacific Crest Trail for 3.5 months after my first year (about 2/3rds of it), moved into the Brooklyn Street house, another 'Reed House,' after this, studied for a year in Munich, Germany, 1981-1982, through a Reed College program, hiked the PCT a second time in 1982 in the state of Washington, about half of it from the Canadian border south, and after graduating with a degree in Religion in 1985, I continued to live in the Brooklyn Street House, with an interest in communities (including visiting Alpha Farm a number of times, and also while working in Kline's Cyclamen nursery in Lake Oswego / Beaverton, OR, for 2 seasons). During these years, I also visited my favorite Uncle and Aunt Ted and Mary Brown at their tree ranch in eastern Oregon, Wisdom Creek Ranch, Medical Springs, Oregon, (near both Union, and La Grande, Oregon, too).
1981-1982
Munich, Bavaria, Germany
Through Reed College, I went to study at the University of Munich (LMU) & also through a study abroad program with Lewis & Clark college, where classes met in Olympiazentrum. I lived in Studentenstadt in Egon Wiberg House on the English Gardens
Studying in Munich, Bavaria, Germany
Through a Reed College program, I went to study at the University of Munich (LMU) & also through a study abroad program in conjunction with Lewis & Clark college, where classes met in Olympiazentrum. I lived in Studentenstadt in Egon Wiberg House on the 6th floor on the English Gardens. During this year, I won a very small ZIS stipendium to study bagpiping in Scotland, and recall traveling to Scotland, and taking a workshop with the great piper Duncan Johnstone. I think the paper I had to write for this still exists in the library at Schloss Salem, a headquarters of the UNESCO ZIS program.
Jan 1982
Portland, Clackamas, Oregon, USA
I think I moved into the Brooklyn Street House, at 2202 SE Brooklyn Street, Portland, Oregon, 97202, as a Reed College student, in January of 1982 and lived in this collective house with other Reed students on and off through 1987, when I moved back east
Moved into the Brooklyn Street 'Reed House'
I think I moved into the Brooklyn Street House, at 2202 SE Brooklyn Street, Portland, Oregon, 97202, as a Reed College student, in January of 1982, and lived in this collective house with other Reed students on and off through 1987, when I moved back east to the Philadelphia area, to study then at Pendle Hill, a Quaker Center for Study and Contemplation, for year. I had an interest in living in community, both from the Reed collective houses, I had lived in, as well as Alpha Farm in the Oregon coast range, and from Quakers too, who have a long history of growing communities, both in Quaker Meetings, and in other ways.
1985
Portland, Multnomah, Oregon
I received my college diploma in 1985 from Reed College in Portland, OR, in Religion (in German too). My senior thesis was on Rosemary Ruether's 1983 book "Sexism God-Talk" http://scott-macleod.blogspot.
1987
Cuttyhunk island, Massachusetts, USA
My parents were able to buy Piney's House on Cuttyhunk island in 1987, the house my family had rented since around 1969 or so, & which was so small my brother and I had to sleep outside in a tent (2 tents) every summer for years, an outside address :)

1987-1991
Wallingford, Delaware county, Pennsylvania, USA
I moved from Portland, OR, to Pendle Hill (a Quaker study center), in Wallingford, PA, near Swarthmore College, as a student for 3 semesters. (I had wanted to study Yoga with Mary Dunn, who had just moved from San Diego to NYC, but which didn't work out).
Pendle Hill Quaker Study Center
I moved from Portland, Oregon, to Pendle Hill (a Quaker Center for Study and Contemplation), in Wallingford, PA, near Swarthmore College, as a student for 3 terms. (I had wanted to study Yoga with Mary Dunn, who had just moved from San Diego to NYC, but which didn't work out). My Uncle Bruce MacLeod (my father's youngest sibling) had been a student at Pendle Hill as well, and helped me become familiar with it. After studying for a year, I found a place to stay in the attic of the local Quakers' Sam & Jane James' house, in Media, PA (a beautiful 1 acre property), and worked in the Pendle Hill Bookstore / Pendle Hill Publishing for 2 1/2 years, community on my bicycle, even through winter, to Pendle Hill from here. (I became a member of the Society of Friends - RSOF - some years later, while studying in Edinburgh, Scotland in 2003-2004 - http://www.quakerquaker.org/

I moved to San Francisco in 1991 to study at the Iyengar Yoga Center, where I completed a 2 year CA certificate program in 1 year because I had a good practice, thanks to Dona Holleman's self-published books "Yoga for Teacher & Student" & "Asana.."
Studying & Teaching Yoga in SF
I moved to San Francisco in 1991 to study at the Iyengar Yoga Center on Taraval St., where I completed a 2 year CA certificate program in 1 year because I had a good daily Yoga practice, thanks to Dona Holleman's self-published companion books "Yoga for Teacher & Student" & "Asana in Photo." Since 1991, I've lived in about 5 different places in the SF Bay Area since then, on and off, - Park Merced in SF, on Stuart Street in Berkeley, on upper Market Street in SF, from 1994-2001, and at 2909 Ashby Street, in Berkeley, CA, 94705 in the 'Tree House': ), and now in Canyon, CA 94516. I enjoyed taking Angela Farmer and Victor Van Kooten's Yoga workshops first in around 1984, in Portland, Oregon, due to their creativity and vision, especially.
1994-2001
3632 Market Street, San Francisco, CA, 94131
I lived in the Garden Cottage here from 1994-2001, above the Romaine Street pedestrian bridge over Market St, riding my bicycle up Market Street with an early little ZAP electric motor, and teaching Yoga. Bill Roberts was my landlord living in the front domicile.
Living on upper Market Street while teaching Yoga in SF
I lived in the Garden Cottage at 3632 Market St. from 1994-2001, behind a whole row of houses, and looking out in 2 directions on gardens. I only rode my bicycle in those years (as a Friendly witness for global warming even) and rode up Market Street with an early, little ZAP electric motor, and while both teaching Yoga, as well as hearing many great San Francisco Symphony Concerts while working there as well. Bill Roberts was my landlord living in front domicile of 3632, and we still occasionally share a meal together.

I'm researching the MacLeod family from Prince Edward Island (PEI), Canada. James Edward McLeod (which he spelled MacLeod when he moved to the U.S.) was probably born in Inverness-shire, Scotland in the 1820s (1824?). He emigrated to PEI circa 1850. He was married twice, and had 14 children, and was a tailor and kilt maker in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada. He then emigrated from Canada to the U.S.A. in 1895. He died on January 5, 1899, in Boston, Massachusetts (having lived for 75 years), and was buried in West Roxbury, Massachusetts. His gravestone can be found in the Boston area. Who came before him?
My first cousin, Mark Kenneth MacLeod (a family genealogist, significantly), has discovered recently (spring 2020) that James Edward MacLeod's parents were Norman John MacLeod (1795-1862) and Isobel MacKenzie ( -1880) and probably from the Isle of Raasay, Scotland.
I'm primarily interested in genealogical and biographical information about the following people.
James Edward MacLeod married his first wife, Ann Bulger, July 4, 1850. They had 7 kids, of whom 6 survived. Who came before her?
After his first wife died, he was married again in PEI, this time to Margaret E. Barnes; they had 7 sons: Edward, Henry, Charles, Frederick, Ernest James, William, J. Gordon, and 2 daughters: Mary Gertrude, and Amy. (All born on PEI?) Ernest James MacLeod was my great, great grandfather, one of whose sons Gordon had Gordon (1929-2007) (http://www.pitt.edu/~gmacleod
My father, Gordon K. MacLeod MD, was an Internal Medicine MD, and a Professor of Public Health. He was also the Secretary of Health in the State of Pennsylvania responsible for handling the Three Mile Island nuclear catastrophe in 1979, as well as president of the faculty senate at the University of Pittsburgh toward the end of his career there (https://en.wikipedia.org/
My parents, Gordon K. MacLeod MD and Janet Kirkbride Brown MacLeod (1935-) have two children, myself and my brother Sandy, aka Alexander Brown MacLeod (https://
In addition, I'm researching the Mary Glynn family, my great grandmother who married my great grandfather Ernest MacLeod. She was born in St. John's, Newfoundland. Who came before Mary Glynn?
I'm also researching my paternal grandmother's father's family. His name was John Driscoll and was born in County Cork, Ireland and married Catherine Ryan who was born on Banquet Hill, County Tipperary. Who came before them?
My father's eldest brother was Francis Earnest MacLeod.
My mother's father's father was
Alden Hugh Brown (1869-1919) and he married Martha Holway Chadbourne (1871-1909), who died in childbirth, having given birth to a) Alexander "Sandy" Chadbourne Brown, my mother's father, so my grandfather, b) Mary Chadbourne Brown, and c) Martha Holway Brown Briscoe ("Aunt Marf"). Sandy and Rachel Gilbert Brown had Theodore "Ted" Chadbourne Brown, and Janet "Janie" Kirkbride Brown MacLeod (my mother), Mary Chadbourne Brown had Edward "Denny" Titus MD, and Martha HB Briscoe, with John "Jack" D Briscoe, had John and Alden Frank Briscoe, all favorite uncles, cousins and family members of mine.
Benjamin Lincoln, in the Chadbourne line, received the sword of surrender from the British in the Revolutionary War and fought in Shay's rebellion. I'm familiar with some of the Chadbourne history through William Chadbourne in England in the late 1500s but don't know who preceded him. William Chadbourne (1582 - aft. 1652) crossed the Atlantic on the Pied Cow (Pide-Cowe) in 1634. Lt. Alexander Scammel Chadbourne of Maine, I think, (See Jim W. Corder's book "Hunting Lieutenant Chadbourne" which contains letters by my grandfather, ACB, as well as being a good read) who fought in the War of the Rebellion and the Battle of Chickamauga around 1862, is also in this line. Fort Chadbourne in Texas is named after him.
Sarah Bolles (b. January 20, 1656/57), who married Humphrey Chadbourne (14 generations back from this author), reportedly comes from a long, documented line of kings and queens in Scotland, England and France (see Bacon's "The Chadbourne Family in America: A Family Genealogy"): "Sarah Bolles has a well-established royal descent from Edward I, King of England (1272-1307) and many earlier Kings of England, Scotland and France, as published in 'Ancestral Roots of Certain American Colonists' by Frederick Lewis Weis, 7th Edition [1992] compiled by Walter Lee Sheppard, Jr."
Here's what the online Encyclopedia Britannica says about Edward I:
"b. June 17, 1239, Westminster, Middlesex, Eng. d. July 7, 1307, Burgh by Sands, near Carlisle, Cumberland
byname EDWARD LONGSHANKS son of Henry III and king of England in 1272-1307, during a period of rising national consciousness. He strengthened the crown and Parliament against the old feudal nobility. He subdued Wales, destroying its autonomy; and he sought (unsuccessfully) the conquest of Scotland. His reign is particularly noted for administrative efficiency and legal reform. He introduced a series of statutes that did much to strengthen the crown in the feudal hierarchy. His definition and emendation of English common law has earned him the name of the "English Justinian." "
Here’s what the online Encyclopedia Britannica says about Edward I’s parents:
"Edward was the eldest son of King Henry III and Eleanor of Provence. In 1254 he was given the duchy of Gascony, the French Oléron, the Channel Islands, Ireland, Henry's lands in Wales, and the earldom of Chester, as well as several castles. Henry negotiated Edward's marriage with Eleanor, half sister of Alfonso X of Leon and Castile. Edward married Eleanor at Las Huelgas in Spain (October 1254) and then traveled to Bordeaux to organize his scattered appanage. He now had his own household and officials, chancery and seal, with an exchequer (treasury) at Bristol Castle; though nominally governing all his lands, he merely enjoyed the revenues in Gascony and Ireland. He returned to England in November 1255 and attacked Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, prince of Gwynedd, to whom his Welsh subjects had appealed for support when Edward attempted to introduce English administrative units in his Welsh lands. Edward, receiving no help from either Henry or the marcher lords, was defeated ignominiously. His arrogant lawlessness and his close association with his greedy Poitevin uncles, who had accompanied his mother from France, increased Edward's unpopularity among the English. But after the Poitevins were expelled, Edward fell under the influence of Simon de Montfort, his uncle by marriage, with whom he made a formal pact. Montfort was the leader of a baronial clique that was attempting to curb the misgovernment of Henry."
"Edward reluctantly accepted the Provisions of Oxford (1258), which gave effective government to the barons at the expense of the king. On the other hand, he intervened dramatically to support the radical Provisions of Westminster (October 1259), which ordered the barons to accept reforms demanded by their tenants...” The Encyclopedia Britannica continues for many more pages about Edward I.
Jeremy O'Brien is also a direct ancestor from the revolutionary war period, who fired the first naval shot, and I'm interested in how he relates to the rest of the tree. (I recall learning this from my grandmother, Rachel Gilbert Brown, too. Granny was both an 'oral historian,' - she talked a lot :) - and interested in family genealogy. She seemed especially interested in her husband Grandpa Sandy Brown's family history).
I'm also interested in who came before Alden Hugh Brown, a mining engineer.
My mother's mother's father was Oscar Gilbert, MD of Boulder Colorado, who married Agnes Kirkbride who also had roots in Missouri, Virginia, and Colorado. Some of Agnes Kirkbride's forbears, one named Jane Horn, came from Kirbythor and Appleby in the north of England, not far from Newcastle-on-Tyne. My grandmother received some heirlooms from her, because her mother assisted Jane Horn financially at some point, I think. How does she fit into the line?
My mother’s mother, Rachel Gilbert Brown, who had a great interest in family history also said that we have a Native American Cherokee ancestor, only a few generations before her. Where does he (I think) fit in the line?
Some of Oscar Gilbert's ancestors, the Powells, came from Virginia in the late 1700's. Who came before them?
There's possibly another Native American ancestor from Virginia (per cousin Susan Gilbert Harvey) in this line. And what will genetic genealogy research show?
New information?

WikiTree just sent an email encouraging me to add AncestryDNA in the Connect-A-Thon, so I may try soon with some hesitation regarding the wiki-labyrinth :).
Would be interested in some artificial humans aka Samsung Neons emerging from DNA tests ... and to begin to be able to talk with all of these folks (as this iterates:)

Mark, Family, All,
I just found the first reference I can remember to an ancestor, one Jeremiah O'Brien, who's supposed to have fired the first naval shot of the Revolutionary War -
Wikipedia. 2020. Jeremiah O'Brien entry, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Mark is amazing, He kindly just edited, which I've now further updated this - http://scottmacleod.com/
Mark, is this Jeremiah O'Brien on the Brown side of the family, or the MacLeod side, would you think, (or know)?

Good luck chasing O'Briens! I have no idea who Jeremiah O'Brien is. It would likely take a fair bit of research to figure this out. Mary Glynn's mother Catherine O'Brien (1838-1915) was born in St. John's and died in Boston. She lived with Ernest and Mary until she died. Her parents were Charles O'Brien and Mary Kehoe from County Wexford in Ireland.

Thanks, will be a-chasing Jeremiah O'Brien on the Brown side, I think! (WikiTree opened some avenues with Sarah Bolles and back, Humphrey Chadbourne-wise too, in the 1600s, - so maybe WikiTree for Jeremiah too).

And thanks to Mark's information, I'll be a-chasing Jeremiah O'Brien on the Brown side, I think - since it doesn't look like Jeremiah is on the Macleod side! (And, WikiTree opened some avenues with Sarah Bolles and potentially back to Edward I, her husband Humphrey Chadbourne-wise too, in the 1600s, - so maybe WikiTree will help with Jeremiah too).
Thanks again, Scott

Dear Alden, Mark, and All,
Well, family historians, having just updated - http://scottmacleod.com/
I have been able to see direct lines back to Benjamin Lincoln (1733-1810) who accepted the sword of surrender from the British, and who is I think, my 5th great grandfather, and James Edward MacLeod (1829-1899), my great great grandfather (so who is my 2nd great grandfather, I think) - by looking at Mark MacLeod's tree just now (in Ancestry .com which is still accessible to me, and since we shared our trees with each other many moons ago).
Now to trace a direct line, I think, back on both platforms - WikiTree and Ancestry .com - from Benjamin Lincoln (or possibly a 5th great grandfather Benjamin Chadbourne also in a direct line - did they know each other even?) to Sarah Bolles who married a Humphrey Chadourne in the mid-late 1600s (http://scottmacleod.com/
Re Sarah Bolles - https://www.wikitree.com/
Am hoping to see these family trees even more clearly on both platforms in due course! :)
And again, it would be fascinating to see all of the above in some artificial humans aka Samsung Neons' genealogy software emerging from DNAtests ... and to begin to be able to talk with all of these folks (as this iterates:) ... and with Google Translate for old languages: Hello James MacLeod - could I say this in Scots Gaelic and would he understand it, since he seems to have left the Isle of Raasay, near the Isle of Skye, at age 10. Mark, did James Macleod, our great, great grandfather speak Scots Gaelic, do you think? :) And when will be able to speak with him? :))

Scott,
I'll get back to you on the Gaelic question. My guess is he would have at least understood Gaelic.
And, sorry, no chance to speak with him unless you talk with the dead.
My recent research has been focused on Frederick MacLeod, born Jan 1875 in Halifax, just before Ernest James. In Jen's excellent Generations document, she documented that he was a journeyman tailor in Boston.
I found that he married Margaret MacDonald while in Boston. She was from Aulds Cove, NS. They had a daughter named Gertrude (Gertie). With a bit of effort, I found Frederick back in Halifax. Margaret and Frederick had another daughter named Catherine but she died at birth in Halifax in 1909. It seems Frederick had mental health issues and he was in a Halifax 'insane hospital' in 1921. He died in 1946 and his death record notes 'chronic psychosis'. His body was donated to Dalhousie.
Recently a DNA match named Brad White reached out asking how we might be related. It turns out he is a descendant of Gertie!
My habit with Ancestry software is to try it again, even immediately, if it gives you issues. I doubt your issues are related to your recent updates. I update on close to a daily basis.

Mark, I may have asked you already about James Edward MacLeod, and Scots Gaelic ... and might even be able to dig your reply (I have a vague recollection you did) out of my blog in the 'Scots Gaelic' label (https://scott-macleod.
Interesting re Gertie, and parents Frederick and Margarent - I recall hearing positive things about Gertie (who died in Arizona I saw - the freedom of US western states, re back east?), and was just exploring her and their Ancestry .com profiles this morning actually.
Mental health, and genes (re genealogy software esp) are fascinating questions, but there's so far to go yet science-wise in understanding this intersection (and re the dismal state of diagnosis and brain science to date:) > am posting an email I sent to my mother and Sandy earlier today in these regards below re the NIH especially.

Dear Scott,
I note that your direct ancestor Benjamin Lincoln accepted the surrender at Yorktown in 1781. In my Ancestry tree you will find one of my relatives Henry Seymour Neville (1897-1990). His 3x gt grandfather was General Charles Cornwallis who was in command of the British forces at Yorktown. Small world!

Mental health, and genes (re genealogy software esp) are fascinating questions, but there's so far to go yet science-wise in understanding this intersection (and re the dismal state of diagnosis and brain science to date:) > am posting an email I sent to my mother and Sandy earlier today in these regards below re the NIH especially.
Warm regards, Scott"
Hi Ma,
Again, wearing my blue bandana in this time of the coronavirus pandemic (of a couple of varieties perchance) - to protect people from my ugly face is something I can see Lance, as an old Cuttyhunker 'hunk,' (friend too:) saying :)
Just emailed Ed to seek his counsel (and even regarding traveling from California, from his perspective as a Kaiser Permanente MD). Thank you, Ma!
Love, Scott

aging-reversal research and planning for this for the 2030s. When you get a large medical institution doing this like the NIH, you can really make some progress, and compared with the handful of scientists exploring it today ... https://scott-macleod.

Dear Derrick!, Mark, Alden, family historians, All,
Our conversation develops! How great. Derrick, - and thanks too for your email just now, from the British Isles - and it is indeed, a small world:
Dear Scott,
I note that your direct ancestor Benjamin Lincoln accepted the surrender at Yorktown in 1781. In my Ancestry tree you will find one of my relatives Henry Seymour Neville (1897-1990). His 3x gt grandfather was General Charles Cornwallis who was in command of the British forces at Yorktown. Small world!
Regards,
Derrick
Will check out Henry Seymour Neville and General Charles Cornwallis! Thanks. (Now if we can go from DNA tests into artificial humans and further into a realistic virtual earth for history - https://twitter.com/hashtag/

Scott
