Surname DUNLAP, Sorting Saturday
Today was another interesting day sorting through first and last names of a members family.
As we all know, they named their children after their Fathers, Grandfathers, Brothers and Cousins.
So we go looking for who is really linked to whom.
A member has a Robert Dunlap who marries an Elizabeth unknown and has:
1. Margaret Jane 1813 -1896 b PA
2. Rosanna Taylor 1816 "
3. Thomas 1819- 1894 "
4. Elizabeth 1826- 1905 " Her descendant.
Robert's mother was Margaret Dunlap. d 1824 ? b Ireland
Children known were:
John 1762-1843
William 1763- 1825 married no children.
Thomas ? - 1816 married, children: John, Susan and Jennie
Mary 1768- 1850
James
Robert sometime after 1770 and before 1780 b died Nov 1841 born Ireland
Were there three more children?
Who was the Thomas that married Jemima and had Archibald, Jeramiah and others?
Who is the Robert married to a Bell, a Henderson or a Schultz?
Since a Schultz witness, Robert's will was this wife a SCHULTZ?
Suspect Robert born about 1775 and may have had a previous wife before Elizabeth. If so were there children, possibly or not?
We found several Robert's, Thomas's and William and John's.
Does this family relate to the Printer of Philadelphia? William who gave up printing to his kin and became a minister?
If anyone has data please contact me.
Was John, Thomas or William or Robert, the name of Robert's father or James?

Tidbits Shared from Scottish Research presented by Christine Woodcock and Susi P.
Tidbits of Scottish Research
Much data here in was shared by Christine for me to share with the Lemon Grove Library Group.
Learning we could do Scottish Research for weeks on end and probably only touch the tip of the iceberg.
I have two books I use but after having met Christine Woodcock and Dianne Bergstedt. I do a lot of referring to their web sites.
Christine shared a very important piece of information for beginner researchers. We are hoping it will help on of our members who is looking for her Margaret ARMSTRONG's parents. She has a marriage date of 1787 in Yorktown, West Chester, New York. After several years of research and trip to SLC she is still with out an Armstrong parent. The man she married was named Nehamiah TOMPKINS. We surmise she was born about 1760.
Here is the important information: Presented by Christine Woodcock.
Here's how the Scottish Naming Pattern works:
1. First Born Son - named for the gaternal grandfather
2. Second Born Son - named for the maternal grandfather
3. Third Son named for the Father - unless he shares a name with one of the grandfathers.
4. Fourth and subsequent sons were often named after father and mother's brothers
1. First Born Daughter - named for the maternal grandmother
2. Second Born Daughter - named for the paternal grandmother
3. Third Born Daughter _ named for the mother - unless she shares a name of of one of the grandmothers
4. Subsequent daughters were generally named for mother or fathers sisters.

Project Ujima Montford Point Marines Program - Malcolm X Library
Project Ujima Montford Point Marines Program - Malcolm X Library on Thursday,
August 1, 2013 from 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM
Can you say “boot camp?” You could be a winner! Join us for a family friendly learning experience about an important part of American history. Sgt. Major (Retired) Melvin O'Neal Chestnut will lead community members in a lively discussion about the history and ongoing legacy of the Montford Point Marines. Evening includes family friendly games, presentations and discussion about the Montford Point Marines. Thursday, August 1, 2013 5:30pm - 7:00pm Malcolm X Library Community Room, 5148 Market Street. San Diego, CA 92114 Childcare available upon request Light refreshments served Reserve space with Elneda Shannon, Eshannon@sandi.net, (619) 293-4431San Diego Unified School District’s (SDUSD) Project Ujima has received a
prestigious Community Stories grant award for “The Montford Point Marines of San Diego” from CAL Humanities, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). Community Stories projects give expression to the extraordinary variety of histories and experiences of California’s places and people. Project Ujima has received funding to produce 10 digital stories and a one-act play with Project Ujima families and the four (4) original Montford Point Marines residing in San Diego, as well as other members of the local Montford Point Marine Association.
> The Montford Point Marines were the first African Americans to serve in the U.S. Marines. Despite horrendous discrimination at home and within the ranks of the military, the Montford Point Marines served with honor and distinction. For the remainder of 2013 and beyond, Project Ujima parents and students will chronicle the historical and contemporary significance of the Montford Point Marines to San Diego history and culture. The resulting digital stories and play will be made available for school and public workshops and presentations, with additional footage of project participants answering the question: “Why should all Californians care about the history and legacy of the Montford Point Marines?” In addition to learning the technology for chronicling the ongoing significance of the Montford Point Marines to San Diego County and beyond, Project Ujima students and their parents and caregivers will have meaningful interaction with living African American heroes and reaffirm the active struggle it takes to achieve social justice and advance personal and collective dreams. The Parent Outreach and Engagement Department, the Harold J. Ballard Parent Center and Project Ujima are funded by the San Diego Unified School District’s Title 1 Program and the Target Foundation. This project was made possible with support from CAL Humanities, in partnership with the NEH. Experience more at www.calhum.org.
