I’ve been taking time off from the blog for a while now, but have still been busy – just haven’t been reporting my activities here. I’ve been working on some of my other research projects, in addition to my work for Clan Murray.
Our “Festival Season” ended in August with the Edgewater Celtic Festival in Denver….or so we thought!
Because of the expense, we only spent one day at the Longs Peak Irish and Scottish Festival in Estes Park in September. We marched down Main Street, and then worked in the tent the rest of the day. We met several Murrays, and several marched with us and then hung around the rest of the day.
On a whim, we went north again to Firestone at the end of September to help Steve Wolf, President of the Murray Clan Society of N.A. in the tent. It was a small festival, honoring St. Bridget, a nun who used to give beer to the poor and homeless, but is growing a little more each year. This was the third year.
We are now preparing for the Clan’s Annual General Meeting in Charleston, SC. I have finished scanning applications, family trees, and other documents in the Clan Archives and am preparing them for members to use in some way if they desire to do their own research. I have a simple index now, but will have to expand all the information so it’s faster and easier to locate a specific ancestor. At this writing, I have nearly 6,150 pages in 233 folders, amounting to nearly six (6) Gb of data. I have also included other materials I’ve created, as well as documentation used in my research before becoming the U.S. Genealogist two years ago.
In the past few days, I have made a few updates, based on new information from http://wikitree.com
- I have updated the list of U.S. Presidents and the Magna Carta signatories I am related to.
- I have removed four distant cousins on the Mayflower that do not show up on any relationship checks.
- I removed Aaron Burr as an ancestor, since he can no longer be verified, but I have updated Eli Whitney, Jr. and his son, Eli III as even closer relations than before.
More updates are pending, and will be listed here after completed.
The next stop on the “festival tour” this past weekend was Elizabeth, Colorado. The events Saturday ended just before the rains came, and came, and came….. Sunday was fine all day, with no rain until almost every trace of the Festival was gone.

We’re now looking forward to being back in Denver two weeks from now for the Edgewater Celtic Festival.
Here it is, almost the last day of May, 2019, nearly six weeks since my last post. Time has breezed by, and I admit I’ve neglected this site. But let me try to get back on track today, as we honor fallen military members of our family, some fairly recently, many from decades and even centuries ago.
We are a small family, the five of us – Cyndie, me, our two daughters, and our grandson. Both of our fathers, U.S. Navy veterans from World War II passed on many years ago, or so it seems at times. We still think about, talk about, and mention in passing something “Grandpa” Thomas or “Grandpa” Murray used to do. I don’t know what our daughters think about them – I’ve never talked with them about it. Our grandson only has photographic collages we made of his Great Grandma and Grandpa Murray on the wall in their home.
Other “veterans” I think of are Captain Isaac Davis, the first officer killed at Concord Bridge in the Battle of Lexington and Concord during the Revolutionary War. Andrew Murray was with William Wallace at the Battle of Stirling Bridge, but died in battle. George Murray was Bonnie Prince Charlie’s general at the Battle of Culloden. Another Murray died in the Union prison at Andersonville in the Civil War.
Other Thomas’ and Murrays, and related families, have been in the military, as well, serving in the Army, the Navy, the Marines, and the Air Force. I haven’t found any Coast Guardsmen, yet, but probably will as I continue researching. The point is that I think about these brave and honorable men, and a few women, on a day like this. Memorial Day is a special day when we honor ALL the military veterans in our family.
Those of us who study genealogy have a little more insight, possibly, into exactly how many of those vets there are, and what their contributions were. I don’t think of just the American veterans I’ve studied, but also the Scottish, Irish, English, German, and French ancestors, among others from other nations. I’ve also studied some of our ancestors who fought during the Crusades, including a couple Knights Templar.
Most people don’t realize how many veterans they should be honoring on Memorial Day, but we all have more military ancestors than we acknowledge most of the time. That needs to change!
Two days at the 2019 Tartan Day Festival in Longmont, Colorado: one day snowy and chilly, the second absolutely beautiful! Talked to a lot of interested people, may have even helped a few get over the hump to do some of their own genealogy.
