Hi MCGS Members: This looks like a great meeting! I will miss it. On the 22nd I will be on my way to Scotland for The Gathering 2009 in Edinburgh. Friday I will attend a conference of Scottish Clan Leaders & Chiefs at Scottish Parliament where I will represent my Family/Clan. Saturday I will be presented to HRH Duke and Duchess of Rothesay (Prince Charles and Camilla). There is another conference I am to attend re the Diaspora of Scotland. Sunday I will continue to participate in the Scottish Gathering and on Monday attend yet another conference for Leaders of Scottish Clans. Perhaps next time I shall be conducting research. However, I am bringing resources to share at my Clan's tent to assist others with their research and encouraging all Scots to participate in the DNA projects.
