Excerpts from the obituary printed in this week's paper for Mr William George Balfour Gunn, Brora: "Brora has lost a great ambassador in the premature death of Willie Gunn, who passed away suddenly on 19th September aged 57. His close friend Bill Faassen de Heer paid a moving tribute at his largely-attended funeral service in Clyne Free Church . . . . led by his daughter and son, the family of principal mourners including his brothers and his late sister's daughter supported by former colleagues of Sutherland County and District Councils, Clyne Heritage Society and friends and acquaintances from every walk of life in East Sutherland and beyond. They demonstrated the depth of Willie Gunn's commitment to his community, and many took heart from the announcement that his children intend to complete his three-quarters finished second volume of Brora and Beyond, a millennium compilation of news and features from the Northern Times, supported by vintage photographs over the last 100 years. Bill Paassen's eulogy mentioned how often his friend over the past 20 years would be button-holed on the street by people with local concerns. On wider and more important issues Willie was a doughty fighter over the closure of the old woollen mill, the contentious construction of the new factory, the threat of closure of rural sub-post offices and the retention of local registers within the Clyne community. The fact that he part-dedicated his book to the late Jack Maclennan MBE, long time registrar and historian of the parish, indicated his own intense interest in genealogy and heritage; no inquiry from home or abroad was too much trouble, for he revelled in the detective work of tracing ancestry and studying family history. Along with Mr Maclennan's successor Stewart Maclean, he had world wide correspondence with hundreds of people of Highland origin. Willie Gunn had been born in Brora in 1944. He was employed by Sutherland County Council as a draughtsman, a skill in which he showed high proficiency. He was later transferred to the work study and human resources departments in Inverness but continued to reside in Brora. For many years he drove over the Struie twice a day in all weathers. In his early days he enjoyed playing golf, and was vice-captain of Brora Golf Clb. He also enjoyed fishing and birdwatching and all things associated with nature. He was a founder member of Clyne Heritage Society. A piper, Mark Landles, played at the graveside." Unfortunately I cannot suggest that you read the full obituary in the Northern Times because they have not included it on the internet. Willie is buried in Brora. On behalf of POSH Iain and I sent a floral tribute to the funeral. Those of us who knew Willie will never forget him. He was a cracking good guy who would do anything for you and I can personally vouch for the amount of genealogical help he gave.

Going back to the question of place names it has been suggested to me that we could all include our home place in our emails. A large number do this already but a greater number do not. A member of our group while sending a photograph to another member suddenly thought that he did not even know which part of the world he was sending it to. He was thrilled to later find that he had sent it into Canada. It is a very valid point and one I agree with. You will now notice I have added my place of residence (only county and country) to my signature. Will you join me in doing the same?

Hi Everyone, I am back in town for the weekend and am catching up on my e-mail and just wanted to give my two cents worth. Banish the thought of closing the Sutherland web site...This is the greatest, sweetest, most giving group of people in all the world....We also are very busy people so from time to time the genealogist in us must stay dormant. I am making a donation next week of $50.00 to POSH in the name of Cathy (she hasn't identified her last name as yet) but she is in Canada and in one blink of the eye she tore down one of my brick walls....(.Iain___ I haven't forgotten you..the bank is closed when I arrive home. Will be there this Thursday and forward the check to you) I am so grateful for all the help I have received on this site that if I could win the lottery all of our money needs at POSH would be granted... Christine it is possible that the Christy Mackenzie I have been looking for is Margaret C. Mackenzie....how about that Carolyn Proud member of POSH

Denise makes a point but she will soon become as familiar with the place names of Oxford County, Nova Scotia, New Zealand, Australia as the rest of us. The people of Sutherland are so linked to those places that we just know where they are. One of the best things about mailing lists like this is the knowledge we all pick up. Place names can be a problem but none more so than in Sutherland itself as most of us on this list know. Those who have been researching in Sutherland for many years have faced numerous problems on this very subject. How often have we missed an ancestor simply because of the place name? Parishes can also create problems for researchers. For example everyone now knows that Aberscross is part of Golspie so why does it appear on the Rogart militia lists of 1745 and therafter in Golspie. Rhemusaig, the home of my own ancestors, is in Rogart but appears on all Dornoch records up until the end of the 19th century. Why it ever was known as Dornoch when it sits on the road up to the Kirk at old Rogart I have never worked out. It is actually closer to Golspie than Dornoch! If you were looking for someone who was born and lived at Acheilidh, Rogart (Strathfleet) you would need to be aware of the following names, Achillie, Achgayle, Auchigyoile, Achvellie, Achvelly, all names by which this tiny place has been known. In the same area are the old crofting townships of Ardachu, Achvrail, Inchcape, etc. These places have also been known by a multitude of names and different spellings. The overseas reader may well imagine a township to be similar to a small village where in fact often there has been no more than two or three crofts. Researching these areas can be (and is) a nightmare not helped by the use of Gaelic transcribed into English by many old recorders. If an old record states that a person was actually living in Rogart they really mean they were living 'up the hill' in what is today known as Bank or Miltonbank. Rogart is the small area around the church. Where the road sign says Rogart as you drive in from Golspie it is actually the old Pittentrail where the river Fleet used to run prior to the building of the Mound! Need any more confusion? Stick with Sutherland research, there is plenty to baffle us all. Every parish has the same problems but it makes research more interesting. Good news is that perseverance and a couple of good old maps together with a bit of logic will help you win but it does take time. Even the names of the Straths of Sutherland cause confusion. In his book 'A Dance called America', James Hunter spoils an otherwise excellent book by a simple error - on page 200 he is talking about the birth place of the ascendants of Sir John Macdonald. He correctly states that this family were from Creag na Dalach Moire known to day as Dalmore, but then states that in front of this place is the narrow valley of Strathoykel when he meant Strathfleet!

I don't know about other places, but in North America I was able to acquire a fiche reader from my local public library for the cost of taking it out of their storage closet. They were large, heavy and seldomly used relics. I was doing them a favor. I just happened to ask one day if they had any "old" fiche readers - and the librarian told me they were ALL old!

I am trying to find names (and most common spelling of those) for Clyne parish which I hope to have up on net by Christmas. This will be in the form of a map with links to pages giving details of families known to have lived there. I am particularly interested in the area upstream from Loch Brora. I intend to add picures of those places but that will have to wait till the spring. This will be part of a larger site giving details of my own Clyne ancestors. Grant
