Ireland-Scotland Visit












































Here are a few pictures of our recent trip to Ireland and Scotland the first two weeks of June. These are all of the Rosslyn Chapel, which was built by William St. Clair in 1446. The one photo of the landscape with ruins in the distance is the remains of the St. Clair castle. The stonework carvings in the chapel were truly amazing.

Also, while we were in Edinburgh, Scotland, we was going to visit the General Register Office to research family history, but didn't have enough time. So we picked up a pamphlet explaining tracing your family tree at the register office, and it had a web site one could go to: www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/. Thought we would share this site for anyone interested in tracing St. Clair history back before Alexander St. Clair (Sinkler) arrived in America in 1698. We will probably so some research during the winter months. If you would like a copy (PDF format) of the family history that Aunt Marian did, let me know and I'll email it to you.

Take care,
Jay & Glada
