Dùn Caan from Loch na Mna, isle of Raasay: MacLeods' family history on the island of Raasay, Scotland, with DNA



Dùn Caan from Loch na Mna: 
MacLeods' family history on the island of Raasay, Scotland, with DNA 


Mark, 

How are you? How was your trip? How was Scotland and the island of Raasay? What Genealogy findings did you make? Or are you still there and having fun doing Genealogy while on the road? :)

Am seeking Asylum in Pittsburgh PA and having whistle blown quite loudly about the SF QUAKER MEETING, Stanford, UC Berkeley Law and instructor w k as well as about UC BERKELEY's nelson gr and Tourism Stuff, about Canyon and Harbin Hot Springs and Reed College too ... And the illegal drug and sex industries internationally and their latent networks of violence. Still alive, am glad to have made this abolition journey to the east coast of the country and back to Pittsburgh. Have found a place to live, and who knows but perhaps I'll meet a friend and life partner and Mom to be (and even at the Shady Side Academy senior school Homecoming on the weekend of 10/15).

New opportunity to accredit CC-4 OCW.MIT.EDU -centric Wiki World University and School is emerging here with Middle States' Commission on Higher Education (did they accredit La Salle and also possibly your high school ... https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-macleod-7a048916 ? They may accredit Shady Side Academy and they do accredit Chatham University where Larry Viehland CFO of Friendly informed Work World University and School was teaching and a Prof in Chemistry for about 22 years, and Head of the Science department too). 

Glad that the WUaS 3 legal entities, as a 501 C and 2 in CA, one a for profit general stock company, are coming full circle. In fleeing for my life from California on August 1, I put things from Canyon 94516 and the unsafe house north of Berkeley, in storage, and will fly out to get the things on M September 26 and begin driving a Budget Van or U-Haul back potentially that same day to Pgh, after submitting a forwarding request to the WUAS POB 442 Canyon 94516 United States Postal Service Post Office, and doing a few other things I'm a whirlwind turnaround.

Hoping your trip to Scotland is or was stellar, and looking forward to hearing learning more about it. Greetings to your siblings! 

Happy MacLeod Genealogy! :)
Scott

Scott,

It's good to hear from you. I'm glad you are feeling safe in Pittsburgh! Just before leaving for Raasay, your mother stopped by our house in Portland Maine. It was great to see her. She seems well.

I just got back from Raasay yesterday. It was a fantastic trip. I was on Raasay for 5 days and the weather was perfect! Hardly a drop of rain. I hiked over 40 miles of this stunningly beautiful and largely de-populated island that had very, very few visitors. By contrast, the Isle of Skye next door seemed overcrowded with visitors.

Besides visiting 2 graveyards, there's not really a way to do genealogical research on Raasay. There is no library, info center, records office, etc. I gave a presentation on my research at the community hall and talked with a few local folks. I'm sure I learned some things but nothing that would change or significantly influence my conclusions.

I'll post some pictures soon, and I plan to record my presentation and upload it to the web.

All the best,

Mark

Hi Mark,

Glad you had a fantastic trip to Scotland and Raasay and Skye for MacLeod Genealogy. Thank you for sharing this too with me. Sounds like a very great time. Did you have internet access from Raasay or Skye, in some hotels, but not others - and regarding online Genealogy tools apart from what might be possible to glean in some situations from cemeteries, communication with people who live there, in Churches' baptism records (which my father found information from in Banquet Hill Ireland years' ago) or libraries, and Regarding possibly even sampling on the ground people's DNA while traveling? 

I didn't know my mother was in Maine right before you went to Scotland. I haven't communicated with her since I left the SF Bay Area on August 1, whereas we were talking nearly every other day before this.

I'm still concerned about my father's head injury in Belize, Sandy and Peg Parker too. And in my and WUAS calling for abolition of the illegal drug and sex industries internationally and their latent networks of violence, and Regarding this abolition journey across the country, I continue to be concerned about this on Cuttyhunk too. Could my father's 2 head injuries, 1 in Belize, the other a so called spontaneous subdural hematoma developing in Pittsburgh ... have emerged decision-making wise from Pittsburgh PA and possibly Portland Maine (and wrongfully, and somehow related to the illegal buying and selling of people even?) ... since I think my father's last decade was challenging to be with. Because of my father's head injuries and his thinking, am curious how best to navigate these questions in Pittsburgh PA and possibly regarding abolition movement thinking.

Thank you for your email Mark and looking forward to seeing your pictures and the presentation you gave on Raasay! 

Sincerely, abolitionally, Friendly regards, Yogic-ally, Warmly, Scott

Mark, 

Thanks again for your Scotland family Genealogy news.

Very much appreciated.

Very  glad too to have met my mother, after very little communication since August 1, for lunch today, in a different nicer place than we had been planning re navigating Pittsburgh PA & its possible latent networks of violence and Regarding the illegal drug and sex industries internationally and my and WUaS calling for abolition. My mother suggested keeping open to moving back into Canyon 94516 again ... Interestingly ... She doesn't like the winter in Pittsburgh at all, - and there are 3 dwellings in the 670 Ridgecrest Rd Canyon place for example ... If we're going to live way past 122 yo and for centuries even... it could be good to have a nice home on 1.5 acres on a ridge in East Bay MUD forested lands, clean and natural, 5 miles FROM Berkeley and close to SF... And where East Bay MUD lands are basically 17 x 17 miles squared of forest, ranch land, utilities, reservoirs and some towns too. My mother is doing well and as a 87 yo... Seeking those aging reversal genetic drug therapies emerging and longevity genetic engineering revolution drug therapies sooner than later and tested and FDA approved for humans, and Genealogists! :)

Maybe I'll find a life partner and friend to begin a family in Pittsburgh where there are many eligible attractive women (at my high school's Homecoming on 10/14 15 16 and a MD with Some Scottish background who graduated from Shady Side Academy senior school just 7 years ago?) 

Scotland is on my mind too ... Working on my 2nd Scottish Small Pipes' album this one of Piobaireachd classical bagpiping music... Hopefully to record in November... http://scottmacleod.com/piping.htm

Thanks again so much for your emails And I wanna see pictures of Raasay and Skye:); ... And happy Genealogy. (New opportunities for Work World University and School are emerging here in PA now greatly too!) 

All the best, Scott

Scott,

I posted some Raasay photos to Facebook in case you still use it.

Mark,

Just tried to see this video re your run through for your MacLeod Genealogy talk on Raasay - 
- but it says it was removed by the uploader.

Please let me know if you upload it elsewhere. Haven't yet checked FB ... It's been years, and have limited access to wifi on my laptop, and don't do FB on smartphone... But hoping to have a look.

All the best wishes, Scott

PS 
Greetings from the Asylum place in Pittsburgh PA, with new housemates, both students at CMU - 

"Frederic and Stephon, I also have brought up my Google Nest wifi router boost... And would gladly set it up for all of us to get a better wireless internet signal... if I or you had a password I could use (Am using my Phone's Hot Spot for part of the month until I max it out)."

(Stephon, a CMU MASTER'S DEGREE OF Music student, may become a symphony orchestra trumpet player, possibly in the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra,band Frederic is Lebanese, with Arabic his first language, and after studying 2 years in French-speaking Switzerland, he's studying for a year as undergrad at CMU).

Mark,

Very instructive, and helpful documentation of your research into MacLeods of Raasay, and particularly DNA test related. Thanks so much for sharing. 

As an academic who's developing ocw.mit.edu -centric Wiki World University and School and potentially a realistic virtual earth for genetics too, am curious how DNA evidence will evolve for Genealogy, and such narratives as yours here iterate. 

Appreciating your western accent interestingly, perhaps from your time in Texas and California (?).

Thanks for the new video link, and the family history.

Best wishes, Scott

Here's the
Monday, 9/12//22 open World Univ & Sch WUaS News and Q&A Recording

http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/09/liriodendron-tulipifera-american-tulip.html ~ and Regarding WUaS Corporation and CC-4 LICENSED OCW.MIT.EDU Work World University and School development newly thanks to moving to Pittsburgh PA and potentially regarding calling for abolition movement thinking about protecting people innocents kids women men... and as WUaS plans to code for all the people 7.9 billion on the planet each a Wikidata WIKIBASE Wikimedia PIN #,  and to facilitate Wiki schools by speakers of all 7,151 known living languages, also WikiTree Genealogy Genetics in a single family tree, - and to distribute a single or main cryptocurrency like Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency free money daily ...

I am sending you 1π! Pi is a new digital currency developed by Stanford PhDs, with over 35 million members worldwide. To claim your Pi, follow this link https://minepi.com/sgkmac and use my username (sgkmac) as your invitation code

... to most of the people on planet, again each a Wikidata WIKIBASE Wikimedia PIN # - to end poverty ... https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University ... 


As WUaS grows and codes for all of this, and with a new accreditation opportunity, am curious regarding Larry Viehland CFO and Kim Viehland who might accredit WUaS with MSCHE, how to develop some checks and balances on them and regarding possibly wrongful buying and selling of people and in roles of decision-making, IT-wise too. Thanks again for your Genealogy and thinking, Mark.

Best wishes, Scott
