This is the most monumental work ever undertaken by Clan Urquhart and documents the genealogy and achievements of James Urquhart of the River Thames and his descendants. The stories, photos, newspaper clippings, obituaries and vital documents such as birth, death and marriage certificates makes this work an important addition to your family history library. The family correspondence (well over 100 letters) shed light on the everyday lives of the descendants and the communities in which they lived. Make no mistake! This work is anything but a dry and boring recitation of genealogy and an endless list on meaningless names. It is the living recorded history of the lives and stories of the achievements of the descendants of an ancient and noble Scottish Highland Clan - the Clan of your ancestors and relatives, a fact in itself which every descendant, regardless of their current surname should take immense pride.
Robert Jeffrey Urquhart, Bard and Seannachie of Clan Urquhart has raised the bar in terms of what is possible in the publication of Scottish Clan History. His attention to detail and accuracy makes this a most valuable genealogical resource for those included in the Index of Individuals. Fully indexed and cross referenced this publication is a joy to use for research. Footnotes provide citations for verification of the accuracy and authenticity of the information included. This work is sure to become an heirloom which will be passed on to future generations, instilling in them a sense of pride in the achievements of their ancestors and their cousins, and, hopefully inspire pride in themselves as well and reminding them of our ancient motto "Meane Weil, Speake Weil and Doe Weil". No better words could guide their lives. The authors motto "Lead by Example" challenges all descendants to emulate his example of recording and publishing their family's history. The family, or as the Scots say, "Clan" is the most important instrument in the creation and preservation of our way of life. It is imperative that we not allow our rich and noble heritage perish due to apathy. We must each do our part to preserve it.
