2. Collateral Relatives: updated the bio for Robert Hugh Alexander McCartney.

It has been some time since we have had need to make changes to the site, but there has been a major breakthrough in our genealogical research. We were contacted by Russell Grimshaw, family historian for the Anderson/Hanson Families. The webmaster's mother was an Anderson and Russell has given us her genealogy back to the webmaster' great-grandfather.

Also we re-evaluated the data for the webmaster's great-great-great-grandfather, Andrew, causing major changes to his page.

All this led to adding new three pages and correcting three pages.

1. Anderson Genealogy: added a new page about the Anderson family.
2. Emma Anderson: added a new page about the webmaster's grandmother, Emma Anderson
3. Hanson Genealogy: added a page about the Hanson family. The Hanson matriarch is the sister of Emma Anderson.
4. McCartney Genealogy: changed the entry for Emma Anderson by creating a link to a new page with her information. Also changed the link to Andrew 1807 to Andrew 1803.
5. Andrew, 1803: changed the name "Andrew, 1807" to "Andrew, 1803". The entire page was rewritten to reflect new data.
6. The Site Map: added the Anderson genealogy pages.

Additional changes include:

1. All appropriate navigation segments have been changed to include links to the Anderson Genealogy page and correction of the Andrew page name change.
2. Two broken links were removed and two new links were added in the Genealogy section of the Helpful Links page.
3. Added the narrative "Some Scottish MacCartney Warriors" to the Famous or Infamous McCartneys page.

Saturday, 31 May 2014

The entire site has undergone a redesign. While much of the site content has remained the same, the appearance has changed, several new items have been added and many have been removed.

First, regarding the removals, the postings from other McCartney researchers are no longer available on this site. Over time, many of the people who posted here changed their email addresses. They never notified the webmaster so that the postings could be corrected. This resulted in no-one being able to contact them. It is not helpful to anyone and time consuming for the webmaster to try to find these people, Therefore, the postings are no longer available.

In McCartney Research, in place of the postings, we have added two new pages.

• Dundrennan Abbey
  This page lists inscriptions for McCartneys found at the Abbey by our friend Len McCartney. These listings contain names, dates and relationships to other people.
• County Antrim 1851 Censu
  This page contains a list of those McCartneys resident in County Antrim in 1851. It is only a partial listing since some of the census records had been destroyed.

The County Antrim page is data we encountered during our research. We have data from several other sources which will be transcribed as time allows and then added to the site.

Please use the navigation to the left or the site map to find what you are looking for. You may also use the search facility to find specific topics.
