My great grandmother is a McAllister who married a Hugues from Ireland. They immigrated to Canada around the mid 1890's. I've been researching this side of my family sporadically for two years now. I've found a crest at the highland games in Montreal this year and would like to know what it means: it represents either an eagle or griffon it's wings and talons spread out - red - on yellow background with six fleurs de lys (white) on the surrounding black border. The symbolism intrigues me. Thanking you in advance for any information you could forward me.

It's been a while since last I visited the Clan site and love the new format. I was quite surprised when "green" didn't pop up at me. It's always fun to see who's visited and where they're from. Betty-R01

hello from northern ireland. my maternal grandmother was mary ann mcallister, and i have been able to trace my lineage back to my great great great grandfather, ephraim mcallister,born about 1780. Settled in Carrickfergus, County Antrim. Possibly from Scottish Western Isles, a generation or so earlier??

My great grandfather was James H. McAllister born in 1838 in Ohio. I cannot find out where, or his pedigree. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I want to find the links to pass on to my kids - my dad was killed just before I was born, and the McAllister side is very vague. My grandfather was Kanab County Sheriff at the turn of the century. I qualified to command nuclear submarines. My oldest son ran the San Francisco United Airlines facility (operations/flights/maintenance). My Younger son obtained his "Professional Engineer" STAMP when he was in his late 20's. Our "baby" daughter (32) is in Pfyzer Research as a "coordinator" ? These kids need to know - they are not guilty because they are special - look at the genetic trail of who and what McAllisters have been. They are responsible to know - and THEN to go on with it... or sit-it-out.
