    1. Memorabilia Domestica, Chapter 7
    2. I.L.Singleton
    3. Here is my first installment of names given in "Memorabilia Domestica; or Parish Life in the North of Scotland. By the Late Rev. Donald Sage, A.M. Minister of Resolis. Edited by his son. Wick: W. Rae. Edinburgh: John Menzies and Co. 1889". Frances Bishop has informed me that this book was reprinted in 1975. Frances wrote: "I have never seen a copy of the reprint (Publisher: Edinburgh : Albyn Press, 1975 - according to the COPAC database). As far as we know, the reprint is as scarce as the original version (printed in Wick). It's unlikely to have a more comprehensive index than the second edition (1899). Most reprints use a photographic process to reproduce the original pages, then sandwich them between new covers. The COPAC site (University Research Library Catalogue, http://www.copac.ac.uk/copac ) may be worth a mention when you post your extracts. Readers in the UK can use COPAC to find the nearest available copy of Mem.Dom. (either version)." I do not have a copy of the book either. It is available in our university library and I have photocopied several chapters. This explains why I am starting on Chapter 7. The next email (a day or two hence) will give names from Chapter 9.... If this proves helpful, we'll eventually work our way through the entire book but not necessarily in the original sequence. I am open to suggestions on format and content for preparing future lists. Any suggestions? Rena Chapter VII, DONALD SAGE; HIS CHILDHOOD. 1789-1800.
