Congratulations Irene! I greatly admire your ability to keep at it over these many years. I hope you are proud of your accomplishment. How lucky for the Australian researchers who can look to your book for what must be an overwhelming amount of information.

The research is being typed and will be published in February in time for the 175th Anniversary of the ship coming to Australia from Tobermory. On this momentous anniversary there will be a gathering of descendants to celebrate their ancestors on 1 March, 2014, at the National Maritime Museum of Australia, Sydney. It should be a wonderful day, so far two Clans [and a piper] have committed to attending the event, and the Governor-General will be invited to open the day [not sure yet if Quentin Brice or General Peter Cosgrove] . The room that has been booked has a lovely view over the water , morning tea will be served. Judging by the menu sent from the caterers last week I don’t think anyone will eat lunch that day it looks scrumptious. If you are interested in obtaining the book which includes the history of your family, and/or attending the gathering please contact me a.s.a.p on dannyk@shoal.net.au and I will put you on the mailing list for updates and full details. I want to thank the many list members who have helped over the many years and those who have contributors have been acknowledged in the book.
