Hi all I am son of Coy McAlister of Roseburg, OR. formerly of Arkasas. His twin brother is Roy McAlister and my grandpa and grandma was Ike and Stella McAlister. Does anyone out there remember my family? I don't know anything beyond Ike and Stella. Please help if you can.

My grandparents are James and Mary McAlister. They lived in Bostic, NC for many years. Now, they reside in Franklinton, NC with my father Louis Mcalister and wife Peggy McAlister. Please send me more information on my family heritage.

Here is a letter from James D. McAlister, 40 Schaefer DR., Dover, AR 72837. Ph. 1-479-967-8356. The letter is in regards to Old Lake Cemetery, Dover, AR. This is the Cemetery where William Crawford McAlister, the progenitor of the WC01 line, and his wife Mary Webb are buried. Due to the length of the letter, parts of it have been edited. To: The descendants and concerned citizens of the deceased in Old Lake Cemetery, Located north of Dover, AR. In the late 1990's Sonat Oil and Gas built a road through the Cemetery property without remorse or thought for those buried here. In addition to the road the property owner tried to acquire the South portion by acquiescence. I and others spoke up against this action and an injunction by the Lynch family (Owners of Property adjacent to the Cemetery) was issued against me, my wife and two others, who are now deceased, E+AL, d/b/a Old Lake Cemetery Board. It has taken several years to get this in Court and finally on March 18, 2004 a decision was handed down by Court Order #E-98-646, that we the defendants (IE: Old Lake Cemetery Association) is the vested owner of said land located in Pope Co., AR. Also lands adjacent to the North line containing graves were also awarded to the Cemetery. At this time there are 220 known graves at this site, including 28 Confederate Soldiers. They are marked by memorial markers donated by the United Daughter of the Confederacy. There is a lot of Love, History and Joy in this old resting place and a lot of lost persons that need to be identified. Please contact all the descendents you can and come to a meeting of Old Lake Cemetery at the recreational facilities of the Dover Assembly of God Church June 12, 2004. Some of the people are calling this a family reunion. There will be a Pot Luck lunch at noon. Drinks will be provided. We will discuss Cemetery problems and elect new Officers. Please, if you are interested in the protection of Your Cemetery and have some ideas, come to the meeting or contact me. Sincerely, James D. McAlister. Note: Jim is a descendant of Elizabeth McAlister the E01 line and his wife, Helen is a descendant of the William Crawford McAlister line. The above letter is only half of the story. They have put in a lot of hard work on this cemetery, which was abandoned 8 years ago. They deserve your support and a word of confidence.

Nice Site. If you look through the UK electoral role there are few McAlisters in England, and even less in Scotland. However in Belfast (N Ireland) there are over 100. I have only looked at the one spelling "McAlister" and appreciate the loose spelling that was one used. My family history trace back to the glass industry in Yorkshire and then to the NE of England (Durham, South Shields area) where I still have relatives. Best wishes Keith McAlister

I really dont know alot of my family history. My grandfather died when my dad was 5 and my grandmother when I was 6, I am now 31. It was amazing to me to see this web site.

My father had two two siblings a younger brother that we know nothing of and a older sister Verna Hilda Myhill McAlister born 3 February 1912 at Seapoint, Capetown South Africa, who died at Southport, Queensland, Australia in 1965/1966.

Ock Aye to all fellow Clan members.I run Clan Macalister here in Australia.I am a cousin to Angus Macalister at Glenbarr Abbey,our Clan Centre in Kintyre,Scotland.I am descended from the Strathaird line of Macalisters,the senior brother to Glenbarr.The other brothers were General Keith Macalister of Torrisdale & Loup,and Colonel Norman Macalister of Clackhaigh,Governor of Prince of Wales Island--now Penang.My family line number is J10.I have a website for Mc,MacA,McAll, Macalisters ,etc at www.vicnet.net.au/~clanmaca Please check it out,and E/M and/or fax me to say Gooday cobber.I set up our Macalister Clan tent at most of the Highland games and Celtfests atBeechworth and Ringwood, Victoria ,and Bundanoon New South Wales,and attend Scottish Week in Sydney.I have also had erected a Macalister Standing Stone,Number 12 East at the GlenInnes Ring Of Standing Stones in central N.S.W.My ancestors came from the Isle of Skye,where they were from the middle of the 16th century,having originated from the Kintyre peninsular before that. 'Strathaird'on Skye,was/is an estate of 18,500acres which was purchased by my ancestor Alexander Macalister in 1789--the year of the French revolution.The world famous Cuillan Mountains run along it`s northern border,and Mt.Blaven overlooks Strathaird house,which in turn looks out over Loch Slappin.The estate stretches from Torrin to Elgol at the end of the Strahaird peninsular,and also contains the famous grotto spar cave written of by Sir Walter Scott in his poem,'The Lord of the Isles',canto 111.It was to Strathaird that Flora MacDonald guieded Bonnie Prince Charles Edward Stuart to after the defeat at Culloden in 1746,where he was concealed in another secret cave until he made good his escape in a French frigate.Flora MacDonald was also bridesmaid to my ancestor`s wedding,as she was a cousin to Anne MacDonald who married Ranald Macalister in 1741.They had 14 children of which Alexander Macalister was the eldest.He married firstly Mary Campbell and they had a son(who died young) and a daughter--Jannette who later married her cousin Dr,Duncan Macalister of the 'Tarbert'line of Macalisters,who were Constables(Keepers) of 'Tarbert Castle',built by Robert the Bruce,thus uniting the 'Tarbert' and 'Strathaird' lines.They had 13 children,one of which,Lachlan Macalister,the 5th son born,was the first Macalister to come to Australia age 18,as an Ensign(Lieut.)in the 48th Regt.Foot.in 1817,when Australia was only 29 years settled.I am descended from Lachlan`s eldest brother,Surgeon Alexander Macalister,who married in 1815 in Georgetown,British Guyana,a Catherine Mewburn--maiden name DE-Berg or De -Brugh.Her family had vast sugar plantations in Demerara.They had 11 children,of which all of the surviving children came out to Australia to help Lachlan with his pastoral proporties . Lachlan Macalister was responsable for discovering and pioneering the Gippsland area in Victoria in 1839/40.and the Macalister River in Gippsland commemmorates that.He died in 1855.Keep up the good work Clan Macalister America.Hey,when are we going to have a combined Clan Gathering?How about it? What do you all think about that?Wouldn`t that be terrific.My very best regards to all,Max M Macalister.cheers for now.Hope I hear from you.

My parents and grandparents have lived in Newburgh, NY since 1800.

I'm looking for ancestors who came from Antrim (John McAlister) to Australia about the 1880s, but there doesn't appear to be any Australian desendents on your page. It is a very interesting page to see though. Keep it up.

My maternal 2nd great grandfather was Wilson McAlister. He was b.in 1841 in Tennessee. His daughter was Eliza Caroline McAlister, my great grandmother.

My family goes back to Angus also. I have been to one McAlister Clan gathering held a couple of years ago in Norman, Okla. I am an opera singer living in NYC, born in Muskogee, Oklahoma. 2 brothers, Lawrence Sevier McAlister, Jr. and John Edwards McAlister. How much will it cost to join Clan Mc.? I am hoping to sing in DC for the opening of the new Museum for the American Indian. On my fathers side, we trace back to Chief Old Tassel- 17oo's. Cherokee. Thank you, Barbara C. McAlister

I am from the J43 line. Well at least that is what we think. I descend from Joseph (b)1818, married Elizabeth McCallister in 1845, Cabell Co WV. Elizabeth was the granddaughter of James s/o Richard 1756, s/o James of Ireland (J04). We believe, but need more researching, that Joseph of 1818 was the son of Joseph, s/o YET ANOTHER, James McCallister. Would love to meet others of this line. Always enjoy visiting this site.

Thank you to all the people that have worked so hard to keep this site up. Keep up the good work.

This fort is so FANTASTIC!! After we saw the video and then walked out to see the fort we could just "sense" and "imagine" the guns going off,men yelling for more ammo! It just seemed so real to us. The place is unique with it's underground munitions room, the mounds and WOW what a view of the Ogeechee River! The camp grounds are unique in how they are away from civilization. I really like that! The museum is well kept with any information you could ever need about what happened here. The gift shop has neat things that the soldiers and people of that time had!!! Thank God for the men who faught so hard here! We had moved here 9 years ago and just recently found this TREASURE!What a time, what a place! I won't forget it!! sincerely, Willa

My great-grandfather was Neil McAlister who was born in Campbeltown,Scotland and came to Mobile, Al. in the 1850s. He was listed in a ships log in the geneology dept. of the Mobile public library. He may have traveled with a brother named Duncan.We have a family bible that belonged to him and when his children were listed the spelling was McAlister but my grandfather (his son) spelled it McAllister.

With so many spellings of this name it has been a real challenge to make progress in my research. Thanks for all you are doing to bring McClester (McAlister) information together!

So proud to be a McAlister and will always keep it in my name. Great website. A pleasure to have met the man that started the Clan McAlister of America and his wife. Will be checking this site often.

My Great great Grandfather Reverend William Shaw came out to South Africa in 1816 and founded the Methodist Church in South Africa. Reverend William Shaw's "Chain of Mission Stations" shaped "the minds and characters of generations of our people as well as many of our present leaders." Nelson Mandela Umtata, 18 September 1994. Not to be confused with the Reverend William Shaw who was born in Barton, England, and went to America in late 1700's or early 1800's where he settled in western Maryland. Great Grandfather Reverend William Impey (1818-1896) Born in Whitby, England, on 22 February, arrived in South Africa 1839.

Just thought I would get in on this to. This is great what you have got going on here. Take care everyone.

Thank you for providing such an succinct account of the life of our Scottish hero Sir William Wallace. (Despite my surname I am a patriotic Scot with all my relatives born here for as far back as I can trace. I am genetically linked to surnames such as MacKay, Murray, Hunter, Ramsey and the Ayrshire name of Underwood.) If any of you out there visit the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park (Scotland's first)and call in at the tourist information centre at Lomond Shores at a place called Balloch, I would like to draw your attention to an information board situated on a wooden walkway which surrounds the Tourist Information building. It purports to explain why one of the islands on Loch Lomond is called "Wallace's Island" and the explanation goes something like this. "The island is so called because Sir William Wallace took refuge there after defeating the English at the Battle of Stirling Bridge". Anyone with the slightest degree of intelligence would work out that after such a major victory Wallace would have had no need to seek refuge of any sort. It makes it appear to visitors that Wallace was a mere bandit who suddenly appeared, defeated the English, and then nipped back into hiding. In fact as we know Wallace became a leading figure in Scotland ultimately becoming Guardian of Scotland for a time. Despite my protests to the Lomond Shores Authority, this notice has not been corrected. Such innaccacies are to found in the plethora of information boards going up all over the country. It would appear that amateurism rules in respect of history. Dedicated pariotic historians such as David Ross should be consulted on such interpretitve facilities and stop the perpetuation of such errors.

I've never met my grandfather his first name was/is Sherwin. My grandmother and he had a war time romance and my mother was born Margaret McAllister in April 1945 so Sherwin would have been in New Zealand 1944ish he was a corporal in the US army I beleive. They split up after my mother was born. Sherwin Mc Allister would be if he's still alive 80-86 years old now. He was a big man 6'5. I'm sad I never met him and his family but he didn't want contact with my mother or her family after seperation. My parents live in Concord, CA my mother is a US citizen.

Thank you for the great Family web site. Imaof the John R McCallister line (J30) and will share what little I have aaand would like to know anyone else that is interested in this line Thanks once more

I found this website really interesting as It's strange how so many of the names I recognize as members of my own family yet they aren't the same people. I wonder if I'm related to any of them!

McAlasters RULE

I am greatly pleased to have stumbled apon this site. It was known that there was Scottish blood in this line, but I wasn't aware it went this far! My sisters & I have always had this longing for Scotland & I have always been facinated with the Mid-Evil period, being castles & such. So now I understand where that longing came from....... A large part of the McAlister clan resides in Piedmont & Patterson Missouri. Here are SOME of the relatives that have lived here as far as I know... Frank & Emma Mcalister Luke, Mib, Dorma Lee(Berry), Jean (Shelton),& Lysander(JACK) McAlister Wayne, Leta(Henson) & Steve McALister Lee McAlister Frank McAlister Sarah(Cumins), Rachel(Lazenby) & Rebecka(Hanger) McAlister Bruce, Elizabeth, Gordon, Tim & David McALister This is four generations of the same family line. If anyone has any information on this line of McAlisters or has any questions, please email me at laralyn@show-me.net. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE...............

I really think it is neat that I am most likely a decendent of the scottish clan McAlister. I have a strong interest in our family history and have always wondered where the McAlisters began. It was said that we had Scottish ancestors, but we didn't know much beyond our great-great grandparents. I will pass this website on to the rest of my McAlister family, thank you.-Rachel-

Charles McAllister and his wife Mary Jane of Brooklyn,NY, were my greatgrandparents. They had three sons,Charles jr.John and James,and a daughter Elizabeth (my grandmother). They worked on the piers in Brooklyn and lived on Ried Street in 1880-1890.I would like to hear from anyone with possible connection...

My Alexanders are known to have come from Ulster. We believe that the progenitor was John Alexander found as a tenant on land called Eredy belonging to James Cunningham, Esq. from Argyll. Most researchers say that this John was the son of Archibald McAlister of Tarbert castle found in document of 1631 in which he gives Sir William Alexander of Stirling the chiefship of the Alexander/MacAlister Clan. Others contend that a Highlander could not have been given land in Ulster as that was only allocated to the Lowlanders. Is that a fact? I was wondering if anyone else is studying this line. We have as sons, Archibald, Robert, John jr, William and Andrew. William is thought to be the father of the seven sons who migrated to Somerset Md about 1688. Helen Smith Waco, Tx HelenSm@aol.com

I would like to know who submitted the Descendants of Richard McAllaster (RO4)? I am excluded from this line. However, my father and siblings are included! I'm curious to know where they got this information! My address is 415 West Highway 56,Lyons,Ks.67554. Thank You, Barbara
Dear Ms. Corbin:
Thank you for your entry in the CMA Guestbook. Unfortunately, you did not leave an email address. In any event, the data were supplied to the CMA by William (Bill) Worth who, as you may have noticed from the page, recently passed away. I am unaware of his source of information but posted it at his request. If you would like changes made to include or exclude your family members, I'd be happy to comply with your wishes. To facilitate this process, please review the "Guidelines for Authors" page (https://www.clanmcalister.org/cma-guidelines.html) for an easy procedure. I look forward to hearing from you.

I just discovered today exactly how my grandmother ended up with the middle name McAlister. My sister named her daughter, who is now almost 10 yrs. old, Jessica McAllister, without even knowing how the name came to be ours. I am so thrilled to have found you. My Great grandmother was Maud Rue Smith (b. 1884/5 in Utah, USA). She was the daughter ofPresbyterian minister Rev. John Andrew Livingston Smith (b. 1853 Craoss Roads, PA, USA) and Mary Louisa Alexander (d/o Joseph Henry Alexander of Cecil Co. MD, USA). Joseph was the son of David, who was the son of James Jr., obviously his father was James B. Allexander Sr., who was the son of William (Sir?) Alexander, born in Eredy, Ireland (He was the Earl of Stirling). Williams father, was John Alexander Sr, originally from Tarbet, but settled in Co. Donegal, Ireland. His father was Archibald, 4th Lard of Tarbet, and Chief of the Clan McAlister in 1631. I hope I have this geneaology right. Archibald's father was Hector, 3rd lard of Tarbet, and son of Charles McAlister, 2nd Lard of Tarbet. Charles was the son of Angus, aka John Angus of Lowb. Angus' father was John, Last Lord of the Isles and husband of Elizabeth Livingstone.

I just found this site and hope that I will be able to find some info on my grandparents. thanks for your site.

I would like to find out about my lineage. My father's name was David Joseph McAlister, his father- Benjamin Franklin McAlister- his father-David McAlister. Benjamin's wife, Alma Rogers. They all hail from the Pelzer, Greenville area of South Carolina. Any information would be greatly appreciated! Also, the only story about the link to Ireland/Scotland was that a Joseph Rogers and a David McAlister came to America from Ireland on the same boat.Now that I'm thinking about it, there's a story about a McAlister getting chased by Indians across the Red River in Oklahoma thus founding "McAlester" Oklahoma. (?)

I love this website! Very informative. I wish all major surnames who immigrated from other countries would do this for their family history records. It would be so much help to families in search of their genealogy. Bless you for doing this with the clan McAllister and related spellings of the name.

I would like to know if you have any listings for a Donald Randolph McAllister? His father was Robert Daniel and mother Edna Wilkerson. Thank you Brenda

My dad sent me a page with history on my family the McAllisters. I had never seen this before and am quiet excited to learn more.

McAlister, who was born in Indiana and then at 1 yr of age moved to California. My brother and I have always been interested in following our paternal and maternal linages. Thanks for the great site!

I'm related by way of my stepfather to Aaron Crosthwait Jr & Nancy McAlister, daughter of Daniel (# D11). I'm still trying to find his lineage.

My mother was a McAlister and I have been doing a little research and ran across this site.

I JUST STARTED LOOKING FOR MY HISTORY AND STUMBLED ONTO YOUR SITE.

We have been attended the Charleston, S.C. and Highland Games for the past five years, yet we have never see Clan MacAlister have their own tent...so we did this year (today...9/21/02). It was fabulous and we can not wait for another.

Ah finaly i found the clan website YAY hey if you want to contact me email me at icemancan@sbcglobal.net

Hi!! My name is as above. Born in Dumfries Scotland, in 1973 which makes me now...29. Interesting Page!!! Keep up the good work! Jase

The last time I made an entry in the guest page I left a few misstakes. This is because I was in a hurry and very tired. Also s sense that time I made some inquiries as to the name of my Father's Father, it is William Fredrick Sanders. My Father who's name is Truman Ernest Sanders and his Brothers are William F. Sanders Jr., Westly Sanders and Charles Sanders. As I said before that their Mother was Robert (yes Robert) Jane Snow, who was full blooded Cherokee. My Grandfather went on the reservation at about 1908-09 and aquired himself a 14 yr.old bride, htey then moved to the Gainesville, Mo. area where my Father was born. After my Grandfather died in the 30's My GrandMother married a man by the name of Slateter, after he died she married a man named D. Holiday. Now if any of this helps any one then just maybe tat person can shedd some light on the Forefamilies of William Fredrick Sanders Sr. my Grandfather whom I never met as he died bfore I was born and that was 1937. Yours aye Lyle L. Sanders

My Mother's maiden name was McAllister, her Father was Robert McAllister he died in Glendale Ca. in the early 60's. When is the next gathering in Huntsville Al.?

Many thanks for the gigantic undertaking that you are doing so well. I hope to attend a gathering in the near future.

I don't know my Grandfather's first name on my Father's Side, But he did go onto the Cherokee Lands in OK. back about 1909, and aquired himself a Cherokee wife, my Grandmother. Her name was Robert (yes Robert) Jane Snow, she was 14 yrs old. My Father was born 1910, Sept, 3rd in Gainsville Mo. He had 3 Brothers William, Charles and Westlie. So if any of this helps any one-good- then you might help me fill in my gaps. My Mother is a Robertson and I do belong to The Clan Donnachaidh of The Pacific Northwest.

I come from Ururugya and my Grandfather came from Scotland. I believe I signed up at some point but never received a thing!

Dear Mr. McAlister:
Thank you for signing the Clan McAlister of America (CMA) Guestbook. If you will kindly provide your particulars to the CMAtreasurer, S.M. McAllister (see the Contact Page) he will check the subscription records. If you have a canceled check, please advise him of the number, date and amount. Thanks again.

I am looking for help with my McAllister,who lived in Allen co. Ky. in 1900. Samual was my G-grandfather he was married to Martha (Carter).My grandfather James A.McAllister was born 1900. I think Martha died young and the Carters raised him. I do not know what happened to Samual?? I can use any help, Thanks!!!!!!!

Thanks for this interesting information. My husband is Danny Earl McAllister. We presently live in Pigeon Forge, TN. His father is Hoyt Curtis McAllister. Danny's grandfather was John Milton McAllister,a Holiness Church preacher at Rocky Branch Holiness Church, in Guntersville, Alabama. We have two daughters and one son ,John Daniel McAllister, and he has one son, Ashton Kale McAllister. Sort of odd, isn't it, only one male in each generation of our McAllister group?

I just got into this and I think is is the greatest and after I figure how to follow this it will be even greater. Thanks James J. McAllister

Wonderful Site. It just so happens I have been researching my family, and your site has provided some great insites. Thank you.

My great, great grandfather was Michael McAlister who came from Ireland and settled in Ohio, first near Marietta, later in Columbus, Ohio. He wrote a history of Ireland. He had a son, Daniel who lived in Columbus, Ohio. One of his sons was Guy Godfrey McAlister of Columbus. Guy was my grandfather. Guy, in turn had a son, Guy Godfrey Jr. who was my father. My brother was Guy III. The family is buried in Mt. Calvary Cemetery, Columbus, Ohio. My father is buried in St. Joseph Cemetery, Columbus, Ohio. Will have to see if I can figure out how to send more complete information. Sincerely, Richard McAlister

My great grandfather's first wife is known to us as Elizabeth R. McClester (born 1826, died 1853). My family has had no success in trying to find or trace her surname or lineage. IS HER MAIDEN NAME, McClester, ONE OF THE MANY VARIATIONS IN THE McALISTER CLAN OF NAMES ?

I am the granddaugher of Margaret Marie McCallister Terry and the Great Niece of Fred McCallister. This site is very interesting and somewhat overwhelming. I would like to see a picture of the Castle. If someone has one would you please email it to me. Thanks!

My grandmother, Virginia Frances McAllister had family in Virginia. She was married to Val Fortune and lived in Dolly Ann Mines, Virginia and later Marlinton, West Virginia. Her sister, Laura McAllister Hart was married to James T. Hart and resided all of her life in Thornburg, Virginia. If anyone has information on that side of my family in the Fredericksburg, Virginia area, I would love to hear from you.

Any one know the population of the clan MacAlister with the variations in spellings

The history and struggles of the Scots is inspirational.

Any knowledge of McAllisters living in Ipswich, South Dakota? Specifically Viola Grace McAllister born circa 1906/07? Thank you, in advance, for your help.

I sure would like to know more about my ancestory. Parents are Frank Hamilton and Barbara Evon. Frank's family included: Ruth, Lois and Robert. Any help would be appreciated. thanks

just browsed your site. I have traced my family back to their arrival in Ireland in 1735. maybe you have some Irish Mac Allisters on your books? Regards Alasdair

Looking forward to finding out a lot of information! Thanks!

I was just browsing through and thought I would add my name. I am 47 years young and have lived in Scotland all my life, as my parents too. We are originally from Musselburgh, just on the outskirts of Edinburgh. We have lived in Fife for 31 years. I think your site is very interesting. Best wishes from IAN

Hey Lisa D! I spell it like you do!! I am descended from John Macalister (born Feb. 2, 1699 in Dalchuirn, Argyllshire). I have a chart of all of his decendents born through 1981 if anyone else is in this line and would like it!

GREAT TO BE ASSOCIATED ACROSS THE SEA IN NAME ONLY AT THIS STAGE

My Mother's maiden name is Allison. My grandfather is the son of Ellis Jefferson Allison who traced his history back to the Allison Sept of the McAlister Clan. My great-grandmother was a Morgan(of the McKay Clan)before she married. Me and my family are proud to be members of the great McAlister clan.

just surfed in

I am a Macalister! Funny that no one can ever spell it right. I don't think there is even one in this website. I am a descendent of Richard H. Macalister

Looking for info on McAllister's in West Virginia

Our McAlisters came from Islandmacallion Armoy Co Antrim. Elizabeth born 1884 Mosside and her brother Robert born Mosside both went to America have not been able to trace these decendants.

What do you have on the McAllister's from Worcester MA. and Salem county NJ ? Thanks Wayne McAllister

Looking for information about John Mcallister born in the 1800 i believe in j34 not sure. He was my greatgreatgreatgrandfather. I would like to know where he was born.

Came across this website while searching for James Newton McAlister and Lucinda Garretson. Lucinda's mother was Sally (Holston) Garretson. Sally was a sister to my ggg-grandmother, Elizabeth (Holston) Hodges. Quite a few members of the family are buried at Morelock Cemetery in Hamblen County, Tennessee.

Seeking information regarding Frederick McAllister and descendants in Philadelphia or Chester Co.,PA, 1850-1910.

Just a wee hello from a McAllister back in Scotland.

Dear Webmaster, Have you been told lately how great your work here on the CMA is? I'm sure the oodles of people searching for ancestral revelations can use your help or that of one of the line coordinators or the genealogy committee of the CMA, right? Wouldn't it be even better that they join Clan McAlister of America?? It's easy and quite affordable, right? Only $15!! Besides, the treasurer is a fine lad that I've gotten to know well over these past 45 or so years!!! Come on, lads and lassies. It's a logical step!! Keep up the great work, Robert C., er, Idaho Bob!! It was great seeing you in Huntsville!

For Yvonne McCollister. Your CMA Query of July 2 was returned because of your defective email address. My reply to your query reads as follows:

"I have checked your genealogical information in the CMA computer data base, and have found a link to your family. Emry Archibald and Abigail V. Marsh are listed in the CMA data base as R04-1-1-5-3, meaning that he was a great great grandson of the progenitors, Richard and Ann Miller McAllister. The data base also lists Eugene R.(b. 26 Oct 1853) and Rose A.McAllister as R04-1-1-5-3-1, meaning that he was Emry and Abigail's first child. The data base does not show Eugene Rockwell and Lillian Irish McCollister, nor their children.

Please send me another email using your correct email address, or send a letter to me at 3800 N. Fairfax Drive, Arlington, VA 22203. Thanks. Bob McAllister, Query Editor, CMA.

Just discovered your sight. May have found missing link to my greatgrandfather, Eugene R McCollister (McAllister). If so, I may be able to send some info your way. I never knew this side of my family and it is great to finally find them. Great Job Guys!!!!

My Mother was a McAllister in Mobile, AL GrandFather and GreatGrandfather are buried in Magnolia Cem in Mobile, AL

I had been looking for the parents for Sarah Elizabeth Erskine for along time. Now I know her parents were George ERSKINE and Sarah HOPKINS. Now the search goes on to find them !!! Does this genealogy "ever end" ?

My great grandfather was John Allison, he came to the US in about 1861-62 and fought for the Union Army. Lived untill he died in Morrow Ohio. His son Edwin Allison(my grandfather) had two sons Edwin and Ralph(my father) all born in Morrow Ohio.

Line coordinator for the J67 line, Joseph McAlister of Paisley, Scotland. His son, John and wife Catherine(Skelly), immigrated to Westmoreland County, PA, USA. My Ancestry site is available at: WWW.PAINTER-MCALISTER.COM

Family lineage back through Allison brothers of Clan MacAllistair, arrived in Philadelphia in July 1776, a most auspicious time, and immediately enlisted in the Continental Army. One brother captured and executed by the British at the Battle of Brooklyn. Surviving brothers prospered, with one son founding Pennsylvania State University and another becoming Surveyor General of Pennsylvania. Directly descended from Somerled, Lord of the Isles in Scotland.

My family and I just attended the Orange County Highland Games and it sparked my interest in the McAlister clan.

I am looking for my family history. Any information would be greatly appreciated. My father name was Robert Lynn McAlister, he died in Michigan in 1965, leaving behind 3 small children, their names are: Richard Lynn, Robert Scott, William Patrick. We use to call his grandmother Mother Mac, who lived in KY. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

Very interested to find out where I came from. I was born and raised outside of Philadelphia, PA in Delran, NJ but my grandfather lived in Tulsa, OK. I was just curious to see if i could find anyone I might know.

I have just started looking into my family history, and someone told me to type in McAlister and see what I get. I was truly amazed to find this site. I feel like this could be my answers to all of my questions. Family history is very important to me, and I want my children to know where we came from.

When and where will the next gathering of the Clan McAllister be held? We can't make it to Huntsville since our line of the McAllisters are having our reunion the weekend of June 21-22, but will seriously consider the next one.

Great Site...

Nope! There are members in Australia, Canada, Scotland, Ireland, mainland Europe and even Latin America.
Webmaster

Line J65, James McAllister - I have created a family website for this particular McAllister family. Please email me for an invite if you beling to our branch. James McAllister [sometimes called Jimmy 'the miller'] was from the area of Tavnaghoney, near Cushendall, Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland. Five of his eight children emigrated to the Greenpoint area of Brooklyn, New York in the 1860-1870s and started the tugboat company that is still in business today. [We are also related to the A02 line from Charleston, S.C.] Hope to hear from you !

Very interesting.

A wonderful site, good luck to all the clan.

Just happened across your website while looking for my ancestors. According to your line designators, I'm directly decended from J04- James McCallister and Mary MacLoughlin down through Martin McCallister and Ida May Reynolds. One of his sons was Homer, then his first son was Clinton Burchal, who is my father.

Just browsing around the internet looking for McAlister ancestry. I have'nt come across any body that I know or any relatives. My parents are from Kentucky. My great grandfather was James William McAlister, he married Viola Belle Rogers. My grandparents were Walton Mcalister and he married Mary. My parents are Vernon Thomas McAlister and Virgiania Pearl McAlister (Bennett)

I AM PROUD TO BE A DECENDENT OF THIS GREAT CLAN.

I am looking for proof that my grandmother America Virginia McCallister actually married my grandfather Thomas Allen Depriest and what happened to the marriage and when?

Great Site !!!!! I'm 5th Generation From John & Margaret (McMorran) Mc Allister. I need help finding John's Parents From Ireland from before 1806 Thanks, Chuck

My Macallisters are from Brooklyn, New York . Their address while there was 45 Reid st.My His ggrandfather was CHARLES Macallister. His daughter was ELIZABETH (MY GRANDMOTHER) other children of CHARLES; CHARLES Jr.John,James.

My great grandfather was James Boston McCallister from Cabell Co., West Virginia. My grandmother was Betty Marie McCallister Betz. I am in the process of getting birth and death information on all of her brothers and sisters. I plan on attending the gathering in Huntsville, Alabama in June. It sounds very exciting.

My family came from Tyrone, MD to Kansas in the 1800's by wagon train with the Bennett family. I understand that they came from Ireland to the United States in the 1700's. I would like to know more about their life in Maryland and Ireland. The earliest immigrant that I am aware of is James McAlister who was born in 1763.

I'm looking for information about my father's family. I've been told he was from the Minneapolis, St. Paul area. He was in the military during WWII and spent time in Brigham City, Utah at the Bushnell Army hospital. He later served in New Guinea as a medic. His mother's sister was a Blake, first name Mable. His father was in construction. Maybe owned a business. I hope there is enough information here that might ring a bell with someone. Thanks, Stan

cool

My husband's gg grandmother was Clarissa J. Alexander. Her father was Josiah Newton Alexander. His father was Francis Alexander. His father was Elias Alexander Sr. His father was Andrew Alexander. His father was William Alexander. His father was John Alexander, born before 1607 in Menstrie, Parish of Logie, Clakmannshire, Sterling Scotland. John's father was William Alexnader, 1st Earl of Stirling. I have learned that we tie to Clan McAlister through this lineage. If anyone else ties into this line, please feel free to contact me. My husband and I hope to officially join the clan. Thanks for any help.

I just like coming back and checking things out, like coming home. I really like my magazine. Have a nice day. Marge

Great to see so many McAllisters about and so many different spellings http://mcallister.xp.easyspace.com/

LOOKING for fellow canada? I believe i am from the j34 line.

I am surprised to see so many with the spelling "McAlister" (one L). I am a from the J12 line. I'm interested in talking with McAlisters (any spelling). My e-mail is sunrise71@ids.net Bye

Fell upon this site quite by accident and glad I did. Would love to correspond with all McAlisters. Please e-mail me.

Hoped to find some new information, but it doesn't look promising, not many McLesters.

This is a wonderful website and I have enjoyed it thoroughly. I am only now beginning to research my own family tree.

I was checking information on the internet about the Viet Nam war in regards to my brother Wm. Dennis McAllister who was killed in action in 1968. I came upon the CMA site and was delighted to see some information that included my brother's name amoung various McAllister's who served in the war.

Delighted to find a site for the McAlisters. We have a "wean" of us here in Northern Ireland, mostly in Co Antirm and Down, originally descendants from the Plantation Period when the Scots came to "settle" Ireland. All good folks! Look at the settlers period for the Scotch/Irish connection. We were here before we thought to go to America and beyond! Best Wishes

thank you for this page . if you are a mcAlister from monterey calif.please email.

Hi, Just wanted to let you know I like your site alot and wanted to stay in touch with you. Take care. Hattie

I think you have done a great job. It is very interesting. My Gardner, Fryman & Bullard family come from Van Buren Co. AR.

I'm working on my family tree and have hit a road block. My ancestor is Hugh McCallister born in Kentucky in 1792 served in the War of 1812 and after a lot of travel ended here in Iowa. He was married 3 times to a Susan Hess,Mary Kelsy and Catherine Houghman. If anyone has any info on his parents or brothers and sisters etc. or even some ideas whare to search please let me know. Thank you so much!

There are three McAlister in Mexico and one in Honduras, Centro America

I will be travelling to Scotland in September 2002. Anyone know where the McAlister Clan originated from? Where is a good area to visit? Thank you, Terri

My cousin, Thomas McAlister of Abilene, TX and I have researched our lineage and have established that we are part of the PO1 line of A.C. Mc(7 generations). My husband and I are heading to Scotland on April 2, 2002 and plan to visit Glenbarr Abbey during our visit. I'm so excited. I can hardly wait! This is our first trip to Scotland. We'll be staying in Edinburgh. I would appreciate any "travel tips" from fellow Clansmen or women. I'll renew my Clan McAlister membership when I return. Verlie

Type in the name McCollister Family on the search bar, and click SEARCH. It will bring up loads of websites for McCollister. Just keep searching until something looks interesting. You will find what you're looking for ,I'm sure. That is how I got started on my family and now I have found all of them.

I am quite the novice at genealogy. If anyone has advice to get me started, please write. My brother and I are the last generation of McCollister to be raised on Apple Creek Prairie (White censored, Illinois, Greene County). My Grandparents still reside in White censored. The earliest ancestor I know of is Marcus Sanders McCollister of White censored.

I found this website through my brothers homepage. It is very interesting.I knew there were alot of us. I guess I just didn't realize how many. Feel free to e-mail me.

Just moved to Atlanta from England. Anne, my wife is English and we have a family of 4 children: Matt (16), Mary (14), Martha (6), and Melissa (1). We are trying to get adjusted but need help. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have visited the McAlister Clan Center at Glenbriar on Kintyre near Cambelltown. My ancestors, Angus McAlister still takes people throught the Abby, I think. Does anyone know if he and his wife Jean are still there?

Iwas always told we were of Scotch-Irish ancestory.I was named for County Kerry Ireland. I am a 1st cousin of Bobbye McAlister Arnold one of your board members.

I'm a McAllister on my mother's side and our family has been in the States since the 1700's. Richard Wesley is the most common given name in our family( my brother's and my grandfather's names are both Wesley). But I was just wondering if any one knew about the Coats? All I know is they're a breakoff of the Farqharson clan and thats it.

This is soooo cool!! I didnt think there were so many ways to spell the name "McAlister"!!

This is soooo cool!! I didnt think there were so many ways to spell the name "McAlister"!!

This is wonderful.... I just stumbled across the site. My mom was a McAllister from the Hot Springs (Garland county) Arkansas area. Our clan is having a family reunion in June, at a resort just outside Hot Springs. My grandparents were James Richard and Tempe Belzona Hughes McAllister. We have a large family and just lost our last McAllister uncle last week. He was ninty-five. I'm not the historian of our clan, but do plan to forward your site info to the cousin who is. We will probably all join. Happy Valentine's Day to all!

My Thanks to Dr. G. Eric McAllister 9399-McAllister Clan for referring me to this site also David McCallister

My Thanks to Dr. G. Eric McAllister 9399-McAllister Clan for referring me to this site also David McCallister

i am curious if i am related to the mcAlister

It was almost eerie to stumble across this site-I have recently just lost my Grandmother Violet Gibson-McAlister(married to Jack-now deceased)My Grandmother was very proud of her husbands heritage she used to say our family can be traced back to "Bonnie Prince Charlie"(through one of his Mistresses).I have passed this address around to family members,and i know they will be very interested,I know my Grandmother will be quite happy to look down and see that we will be keeping interest in our family history alive.

I am a Scottish woman living in Norway my name before marriage was Macalister. Do you have any clan members with the same spelling of the name as I do. Would be interested to hear from them

Your website is fantastic! This inquiry my seem odd but i'm in the process of writing my first novel and am interested in obtaining information on the history of the MacAlister clan. The novel's setting is Scotland 1071 (highlands). I've research everywhere but my findings are limited to Scotland's general history. Though most helpful, the information i've gathered doesn't particularly descibed the highland people and their way of life during the 10th-11th century. What i'm looking for are the achievements, battle victories, etc. of the MacAlister Clan or any impacts the clan had made to the region during this time period. I do hope you can assist me with this research or point me to helpful links. Thank you in advance. Sincerely, Abby

I just found this web site.I'm currently researching my family tree here in the Philadelphia-New Jersey area. I have found information back to my G-Grandfather Thomas McAlister who came to Philadelphia from Ireland in 1884. I have not been able to get any more information about what port of entry he came through or the ship he traveled on or the home town in Ireland that he came from. I am looking for help on where I can look to get more information. Looking forward to hereing from CMA

After visiting many sites, I feel like I found the real thing. I have been searching for family info on and off for the past couple of decades. I will be back to use your services. Glad you're here.

CMA member #21 I'll be back for some queries and updates of JE01

Love it!

I just love this site! Found it by accident. Now I would like to contact my relatives in Texas. My dad's name is Harrolland and I want to know if anyone in this clan is related by marriage or if they are my dad's siblings. My dad's parents are Viola (Moore) and Willis Clyde McCallister. His siblings names that I know of are Daisy, Eunice, Forrest, Delsa Lee, Willis Clyde,Clovis (I think). Please contact me someone at the addy above. Thank you.

a great site. my ancestors came from scotland , i think, in the early 1800's to western canada. later to michigan. i intend to subscribe and try to learn more

I'm so glad this wonderful website exists. Thank you to the person who made it.

Happy New Year All

My ggrandfather was James Benton McAllister who was married to Lucinda Rilla Dortch from Greenup County Ky.

Very interesting site and information

I just found this site, but plan on spending some time here in the future, learning about the W.Va. McCallisters from Greenbrier County in the 1800's.

researching Yarrow McCallister 1818-1885 and his son Edwin McCallister/McAllister 1840-1941 from Griggsville, Pike co., Illinois.

From the census of 1900 Wetzel County, W.Va. I found his Father to be a Charles A.(Ambert?) McAlister and his Mother as Martha J. My cousin has gone on this information to find 2 Brother's, William Russell b. 25 Aug. 1852 and married to Lydia Springer ,21 April 1872, a Thomas W. b. 4 Jan. 1856 and married to Emmeline(Emma) about 1880. It show's their Parents as Robert McAlister b.7 Dec. 1810 and married to Martha Jane Duncan 1 Jan. 1844 in Trumbull County Ohio. Robert's Father was a William McAlister married to a Mrs. McAlister (?) about 1810 in Va.. Does this sound right to anyone out there?I have other information on Temple's life in Ohio but nothing about his family before Ohio other then where he was born and picture's of his father's farm in W. Va. If any one could help us we would surely be gratefull. We know he was of Scotch background.

Hello! I have a pretty complete family history for my grandfather Patrick McAllister. He lived in Cincinatti, OH. He is now deceased. He immigrated alone as a young man to the USA early 20th century. Contact was maintained via letters to his relatives back home. I would love to share this with anyone. Jill

I have been tracing my father's military history, and while he did not receive any great award or distinction. I believe, like many other McAllister's, served his country well. I would to try and gather together some of McAllister military histories. So plase help me to gather information, not only about great heroes (I believe anyone who will serve their country when called, is a hero), but about the experiencies of McAllister servicemen and servicvewomen, and those that stayed at home and served there countries, either through actual combat or the stories of those that stayed at home and carried the burden of not knowing!!. So please help me to gather information on the service to their contries that the McAllister's have made. If this project is sucessful, I will submit it as an article for forther distribution within our FAMILY

Happy Holidays to all the McCallisters.

Are there both Scottish and Irish McAlisters?

Is there an equivalent McAllister Clan devoted to McAllister's from Co Antrim in Ireland? We have a tradition that a James McAllister came to America in 1784 "on redemption" with a man named Macrone (which I assume is McCrone).

not sure what to comment curious about McAlisters form my area

Mery Chrismas to all the Clan

Peace be with all my fellow clan,greetings from geordieland. Have a wonderful 2002.

Very insightful page was able to find some interesting information.

Test 11/26

Great site! I bought a McAllister book some time back but the interaction through a group like CMA is a great way to learn about our ancestory and share it with our children. Keep up the good work. I will be joining soon..

Very Interesting, well written. Thank you for the effort!

It is really great to be a McAllister!!! Has anyone else noticed how often you hear the McAllister name being used these days in movies, like "Home Alone" and TV shows, like "Pasedena"?

The page was very interesting so i thought id sign your wee bookie! Thanks!

Interesting story and site. Not many other Wallace comments eh?

Thank you for this fine article. I was warmed by your comment about the magnanimity with which Wallace met his fate, & the need for Scottish identity being as great now as in his time. My own ancestry, including Selfridge & Bell, is a bit murky, but given my impassioned response to bagpipes, I've no doubt I'm a real Scot.

I liked the article...

I just discoverd this site. Thank you.

I am an Allison with links to the McAllister clans, but have no idea which branches. I would like to know if anyone can give me ideas to know where to start?? Thank you.

I am a canadian McAllister from new brunswick looking for information on our mcallister line can anybody help

Found the site to be very interesting. I am related to the McAlister line that settled in Exeter-Strathroy-Mt.Brydges Ont area in the 1800's.If anyone has more info on this family line or just wants to chat..send me an e-mail...Cheers

Hello, i'm new at this,i have been trying to make a family tree because i,m the only McAllister left of this family.and i want to leave to my children information about my family.My great grand father was J Y McAllister his wife was Margaret Cyres.my grand father was George McAllister,his wife was Julia Ann Robinson,my father was William Buford McAllister. and i'm Barbara i was born 07/12/1935 in boyd county kentucky.

I like the way you admit that some of the sources may be wrong, but still it's good to see it from a different point of wiev. B.A.G.

I have admired the stories of William Wallace for quite some time now. It would be great to knoe if my family had any connections to the great people off Scottland.

I was just curious about my family history, and did a search. I am told that my great-great grandfather (William K. Wallace) came to America just before the civil war from Scotland. I have no idea about my family history, but I find some of this is very interesting.

Glad to find this site, sent memmbership to Hartselle,would like to find Clan Tartan stuff supply in the US. Father & brothers also very interested in genelogy.

I understand I have ancestory to the McAlisters (not sure of exact spelling)of West Virginia and was told that I am related as a nephew of many generations to a Confederate Officer from that area. My brother, Roger Wilson has researched this fact and has made me curious for more information.

Thank you for the information about this great man. I always remember the last word Wallace said in the movie: freedom!

I think it's very interesting.

I think it's very interesting.

your page is very interesting & its been a joy to look through it. I,m from Ayrshire in Scotland. I live near the birthplace of William Wallace. he was born in Elderslie, its a town only a 30 min drive from my own home town. William Wallace was a true Scottish hero. not forgetting, Robert the bruce. Rob Roy mc,gregor, & many other true Scottish hero,s . too many to mention. Freedom to all who are persecuted for what they stand up for.

Nice web page!

I'm an artist and entered the page looking for the leyend o Robert Bruce and the spider and found about Wallace and you page. I know a Mac Allister family that came to Colombia at the end of the eighteen century. They have many descedants, just my friend's family has 7 children all married. I'm giving my friend your page so she can contac you directly. I have always loved Scotland and its history. Thank you.

Looking for McAllister clan of Scotland Norman Godfrey McAllister

I'M STUDING THE GREAT MAN RIGHT NOW AND THE PAGE HELPED ALOT I HAVE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR BRAVEHEART THE PAGE IS EXELENT THANX FOR THE INFO

Just checking to see if there is anything new added. Still looking for the parents of Abraham McCollister. I did find out that his nickname was Mack. Does that ring a bell to anyone?

Hi! I've found this at www.irishsurnames.com - these little articles are about the variants of Alexander, and they include McAllister: Alexander: The name Alexander in Ireland was brought into the country by English and Scottish settlers who emigrated to the Province of Ulster in the seventeenth century. It is in Counties Down and Antrim that the majority of descendants can still be found. Variants include MacCalshender and McAllister. McAllister: The name McAllister in Ireland is taken from the native Gaelic Sept MacAlastair who settled in Scotland only to return to Ulster in the fourteenth century as Gallowglass warriors. It is in Ulster and in County Antrim in particular the majority of descendants can still be found.

Thanks for the website. This really helped with my project. I will recommend this website in the future to my friends and family. Thanks Again, Kelly Mcallister p.s if you could help me find some info on my ancestors I would apperciate it. My grandfather moved to america when he was 17 and I belive he changed the spelling of his name when he came from McAlister to Mcalllister.

Thanks for the website. This really helped with my project. I will recommend this website in the future to my friends and family. Thanks Again, Kelly Mcallister

this page is good

Dia dhaiobh! Hi! First of all I must tell everybody that I'm not from any Celtic origin :(((( , but I love to know more & more about Celtic (either Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Cornish or Breton) people. And somehow I feel a bit of Celtic spirit in myself. And it was so great to find a homepage of the clan that has a surname which sounds like mine. It's a great pleasure and it makes me proud... That's all I wanted to tell... Slan agus beannacht! Zsolt

I really like it!

Hello, When I was a small child my grandmother, Ida Wallace Brill (born in Pennsylvania, her father from Scotland)) used to tell me that I should be proud and stand up for my rights and the rights of other's because through her I was a decendent of Sir William Wallace's family. At the time I didn't know what she was talking about, but I knew it was something good. As I got older, after she had passed away, her words still echoeing in my thoughts, I read about my distant relative. Everybody has to make their own mark on this world (hopefully a good one), I'm proud to be related, and I'd be lying if I said it doesn't inspire me. Good health and good luck to all that live for the betterment of mankind.

As a former student of GLASGOW university,Scottish History,and a fan of Wallace, I must congratulate you for a quality piece of work.

I Think lad im part of your family in some way. Long Live The Scotland and William Wallace !!!

you r web page on William Wallace was very helpful in my repot, as well as for my own understanding of my ancectry, thank you

Interested in knowing more about my ancestry- Fascinated that other McCallisters know so much and have so many stories about theirs. Found a McCallister Castle on the web...looks like a neat place to visit in Scotland. Thanks for this site!

Would like to know if I'm related to any clan. I'm very proud to be Scotch/Irish. Wonder if I have relatives in Scotland/Ireland?

I found a lot of information about Ft Hunter in PA on this site. Which was helpful since I am a decendent from there. thanks Brad MacAllister

what an interesting website..thank you! One day, I'd love to go to Glenbar Abbey on the west coast of Kintyre peninsula, and show my children their incredible heritage! Thanks again...

Was pleasantly surprised to stumble onto this site!

Very nice site. I work for the British in naples and my Boss is from the King's own scottish borderers, Maj Frank Morton from Edinburgh. I'm an America and can trace my clan with the Stewarts of Appin. Good reading and thanks.

This site is so cool

Enjoy the web site. My family is in and around Anderson,Pendleton,Liberty S.C. area. Have some information on my McAlister Family.

this site is good

I'm a McCallister by name and have always been curious about the history. This site was very well done.

great site found it looking up information on william wallace

MY COUSIN AND MYSELF ARE SEARCHING FOR OUR ANCESTORS. MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER WAS MARY MCALLISTER OF CUSHENDALL. SHE MARRIED A JAMES A. AGNEW OF NORTHERN IRELAND. THEY HAD ONE SON JAMES AGNEW. HIS MOTHER AND HIM IMMIGRATED TO CANADA WHEN HE WAS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD. SHE HAD A SISTER NELLIE MCALLISTER WHO ALSO IMMIGRATED AND MARRIED A MCDONALD. THEIR FAMILY OWNED A HARDWARE STORE IN CUSHENDALL. IT WAS GREAT TO READ YOUR STORY AND WOULD LIKE TO HEAR ANY OTHER INFORMATION YOU MAYBE ABLE TO GIVE.

I come from Stirling which is the home to the Wallace monument and was interested so see so many McAllisters out there.

excellent site. i am very interested in wallace.

I would just like to say that coming to your site was a real thrill. I love reading about Sir William Wallace, and his adventures and quests for freedom. I am doing a report on Sir William Wallace in College. I must ge as much information as I can to do so. The subject we had to pick from contained this.. "Great freedom fighters, before the 1600's". I picked William Wallace, because I related to Braveheart so much. After watching Braveheart for the like 700th time, I decided to read up on him, and I have been a fan ever since. Thank you Casi Gunter

We are two brothers near Toronto, I am Rob, 15 years old, My brother Michael is 6, looking for relatives in the United States; Any McAlisters Please Reply.

I have always had a curiosity about historical figures. I know how much the media and movies are able to distort the facts. However, they are able to bring forth figures which do get a person to think, and then research the truth!

I am glad to see that our American cousins are still maintaining an interest in the history of their ancestors. Scottish history is a subject dear to my heart. Thank you for taking the time to compile the web page.

Enjoy your website so much. Just returned from a McAllister Reunion (#26) in Free Union, Va.(near Charlottesville,Va.). Keep up the good work with this site. It's great.

Your site is a great resource for MacAlisters worldwide.

Enjoyed your website. My father is also from Lincoln County Tennessee.

I watch movies like Braveheart and it intrigues me into wanting to learn more about heros like William Wallace. My heart breaks when I learn about the fighting and all the pain that some people have had to go through just to gain freedom--I take mine for granted because I was born into it. When I see things and read things that tell me of people's courage like his it empowers me and then again, makes me feel completely helpless. I hurt when I see other people struggle for what is their God-given right. I wish I could help more...

Thank you for sharing information about William Wallace

Great site. I have just started to piece together my families genealogy. Your site provided me with alot of insight. Thank you.

Yours is a most interesting site. I have only recently begun to look more closely at my family history. thank you

William Wallace was a true hero.

Just a distant cousin of "An Triath nan Eilean" strolling by. After visiting Angus and Jeanne at Glenbarr Abbey and Keith at Torrisdale Castle this Summer, I feel closer to the MacAlisters. Le deagh dhurachd, Iain Guth

Nice site. I was born in Dublin, Ireland. Just checking this out!

I love your site! It's very informative and welcoming. After browsing through your site, I was able to get some information on my clan and understand it better. Thankyou so much for this wonderful site! "Here's to us, who's like us, damn few, they're all dead!"-- An old Scottish toast my Gramps taught me!

just surfing

If anyone has any information on the Mcallister Tug boats in the ny harbor I would love to here any information you have. My Great Grandfather was an owner of them.

my father is a macalister, but he was nver part of my life. i'm told he was not a good man, but i have his ancester's blood

I just came to this site looking for infomation on my project. E-mail me if you want.

I've been following our family tree for some time from an Aunt (91 yrs old) whose been the historian of the family. I am the last Canadian discendant of Richard Dickson Macallister whose family tree migrated from Scotland to the US New Bedford area. The family was quite prominent in the states and I have documentation that the family is registered as son's and daughters of the American Revolution. It is eronic that with such a rich American history my greatfather who married a lovely American girl Josephone moved to Canada... and that brings the family finally to me.

Three cheers for "Clan McCalister of America." This is the neatest website. And about the neatest thing since sliced bread. Keep up the good work.

I am trying to find records of great grandparents originally from the Johnstone,Kilbarchan area.

Great to see this site taking hold worldwide!! Has anyone seen or heard from my father? He answers to "Mac". If you know of him, let me know!! (Hi, Dad. You're the greatest.)

I will come back to this site to find out more about my family history. I don't know much about this side of my family, so maybe this site will help me find out were i come from.

Great Website. I am just starting to trace my family (more difficult as I already know we have used 3 spellings of McAllister), so this site is a great help. Keep up the good work and if anyone has any links to McAllisters from the West coast of Scotland, let me know!!

Just started tracing my father's side. I'm very new in geneaology and still learning. My grand father was Sanford Augustus McAlister (b.Oct 1865 d. 1935) a son of either John or James A. Calloway McAlister born in Anderson County S.C. Mother was Sarah Francis Gibbs. If any you have family info. please send.

hay thanx for all the info. I needed it to show somone how william wallace really died. great site

I have been very interested in William Wallace ever since I can remember. Thanks for the info!

DON AND I ENJOYED THE CLAN GATHERING IN ROAN OAK AND ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE ONE IN HUNTSVILLE IN 2002. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR EFFORT THAT IS PUT FORTH TO KEEP OUR CLAN TOGETHER

I am very instereted in hearing for Canada McAllister? John Mcallister is a popular name. I was my dads name too.

I'm looking for info about James McAllister (b 1822 Glasgow) who married Ann Boyle (b 1829 Rutherglen). Their offspring were James (b 11 May 1856 10 Colston Row, Lambhill Road, Barony, Lanark), Annie19 Jun 1858, Janet 22 Apr 1862, Martin b 1865 , David b30 Nov 1866 (my great grandfather), William 1873, Marion & Margaret. I understand that some of these people or their offspring moved to Vancouver or elsewhere in British Columbia. I have info re the rest of the family but wish to move backward beyound James parents (McAllister & Miller).

Consider yourself "bookmarked". I wil definitely be spending a lot of time here!I was raised in foster care and have no idea about who I'm related to in this clan.

Looks like a fun site I'll spend more time as I have it.

I'm looking for anyone who may be related to my Great-great-great-great grandfather John McAlaster and Katherine (McGregor) McAlaster married in 1773 in Kintyre Scotland. One of there sons was my Great-great-great grandfather Donald MacAlester born April 24, 1774 in Campbeltown, Scotland. There is a Charles McAlester & Elizabeth (McGrigor) McAlester, and their son Samuel McAlester born Jan 3rd, 1770 that are related as well. Samuel McAlester had a son Samuel born in Kilcalmonell & Kilberry, Scotland on Sept. 20, 1812. Is anyone related to these people? If you have anyinformation that would help me please send me an e-mail. Thank you very much. Also thank you to CMA for the great web site!

I was glad to find this web site. I am from Canada and have been back to Kintyre Scotland last month searching for more information on my relatives who came to Canada and the USA in 1830 and 1840. I would like to become a member of the Clan Mcalister of America. I have lived in America in the past, however now live in Tokyo and Hong Kong. I now have a book made up of 350 pages of information on my family dating back to about the 1750's in the Kintyre Scotland area. I hope to find out more and maybe CMA membership can help me. Thank you for your web site, It's great. Best regards, Ken McAllister

I am originally from Zimbabwe and would like to trace any known Mclisters that settled in Zimbabwe or those who are related to those that settled in Zimbabwe.My Father was Hugh Mclister and his Father was from Australia also called Hugh Mclister

Found this website after a search re W Wallace plus Edward the 1st etc. Of course there was a lot of 'artistic licence' in Braveheart, but then it was for entertainment, not as a historical drama.

I wish i knew who all out there is my blood relation?!!!

Thanks to Paul McAllister for his cogent yet polite remarks on the CMA Guestbook. Good manners are an outward expression of good intent. I appreciate and enjoy the significant difference in tone of his remarks as compared to Mr. Horne's, not to mention Mr. Horne's dismissal of fact. Although my family has been in America for many generations, I must agree with Paul's assessment of the English drain on Scotland. (All reputable historical accounts I have read also agree with it.) Thanks again.

Well done on an interesting site.

Having just read the comments of Horne..Lord of Wakes, dated Thursday, July 12, 2001, I felt compelled to write the following. Sir William Wallace was an honourable, brave warrior who fought for his right to freedom from English oppression. Anyone who fails to admire his love for his country is surely misinformed. As for the comments regarding Scotland's independance, I too want to see stand alone from the English. Why is Scotland the poorest country in the world to have discovered oil? Why was Scotland targetted for the much hated "Poll Tax"? Scotland, like Wales has been systematically dismantled by English governments for generations. The illusion that Scotland cannot stand alone was portrayed by the English in a bid to profit from Scotlands natural resources, (including water). I take great exception to these comments, although Scottish mistrust of anything English is encapsulted within them. Sir William started the fight, and hopefully within the next few years his and our dreams will be realised and we will finally be rid of the English Leeches who have kept our country down foro far too long. Let's see if England can survive without the Scots to rob from.

I was doing some research on Sir William Wallace and came across this site, just wanted to say hi to my American cousins overseas.

Och aye me lads and lassies, greetings from cuda and army, well i will always remember william wallace for i am a celt (irish\scottish) and im proud of me blood and i no that maybe in another time i fought in his army cus i would without a doubt if ye ken well i would like to comment on wallaces sword the five foot six steel monster "its a brute and a butte" well i live and die for ireland and scotland so if theres ever trouble just call on big cuda

My mother's maiden name was Eleanor Louise Sanders. Her father was John Randel Sanders, Jr., son of John Randel Sanders, Sr. His father was Hampton Sanders. His father was Eli Sanders. Family lore and traditional food say we came from "western" Scotland.

Re-visited this web site yesterday and found articles of interest to me. I'm researching my maternal grandmother's ancestors, she was Dorothy Alison Macalister who died in 1965. Her family are from Devon before that Liverpool, before that Paisley and before that Bonhill area in Scotland. I'm currently tracking back to scottish Macalisters pre-1700 with some difficulty! I shall be sending details into your database in due course.

I was born of William Hover McAllister and Lurline Ritch McAllister in Beaumont Texas. My father was from Ruston La. and his brother was John McAllister in Bossiercity la. My grandfather was deceased when I was born but I know his first name was John because dad's brother had his firsr name. if anybody can give me some information about my famley I would be grateful. Thanks Bill

born in kansas grew up in georgia, tennessee.have relatives in both and anderson south carolina

Just wanted to say the history of William Wallace is truly fasinating and I would love to here move about him if any new information should arise.

Delighted to find you! I'm descended from the "Tugboat McAllisters" (G06-1?), and we are cousins of the Charleston (SC) McAlisters ("the one-L cousins"). My g-grandfather, John Edward McAllister married Katharine O'Brien (daughter of Dublin revolutionary William O'Brien, whom I've been researching). Their eldest daughter, Margaret Mary (b. circa 1903), was my grandmother, who married William Whelpley, also of New York City (Anglo-Catholics)--the O'Briens & (Co. Antrim) McAllisters were Catholic too. Margaret had two younger sisters, Katharine Mary (b. about 1906), and Mary Louise (b. 1917). Their Uncle Bill, William McAllister, was the other brother (with John) of the McAllister Bros. Tugboat Co. in NYC (never heard of the Robert in your journal's TOC--their father maybe?). Margaret (McAllister) Whelpley (who died in 1973 or 1974) had 3 children: John Edward, Kathleen, and Marjorie Ann--Kathleen is my mother. I've printed out the membership form and will send it in with a more formal account of our line, with dates filled in and maybe a picture, if I can spare one! Cheers, Candice

I am interested in Charlotte Co. McAllisters Would also like to know the date of the next Clan McAllister gathering.

It is very interesting to see all of these Mcallister's (especially the ones with two L's) since this seems to be a fairly uncommon last name in my area!!

Having studied my ancestors battles with the Scot from Stirling to Culloden I find the myth/story of William Wallace in all he was supposed to have done a little hard to swallow.Like all Scottish stories they grow and grow ever since stealing the story of King Horn in the 13th century and claiming it originated in Edinburgh as nine ballards calling it "Hind Horn" As an Englishman I am already finding it hard to understand why we have a government in England riddles with Scots and yet they think they have independence to which we bolster them with £9 billion per annumn--I am all for Scotland for the SCOTS and would like to see them try and survive in their own land. So although I think the website is interesting I cannot agree woth tattered halo of William Wallace and he was very rightly Drawn and Quartered at Smithfield where my ancestor Robert Horne on the 23rd August 1305 witnessed the end of this man.

i am the granddaughter of walter h. mcallister.i am really interested in my family history.anyone nearby greenwood,sc please respond.

hello it's me again. "see haggis with different sized legs" as a point of interest. my surname has two l's. my fathers had one. the reason was my mother, in the west of scotland. one l denoted a "traveller" so my mother ensured myself and eight siblings had two l's in our surname. at the time of my birth {1950}it was not socialy acceptable to be a "traveller" hence the addition of the second l. the fact that my grandfather and grand mother listed there addresses as "a tent on the hill at tignabruich" as there place of residence, at the time of marriage still does not convince me that they were travellers!!!

WONDERFUL READING..

I'm a wargamer and I'm particularly interested in medieval armies. Your excellent articles have been very useful to me. Thanks and keep it up!

I seem to be the only person who spells my name like this .please contact me if u do 2.

I just wanted to sign the guestbook. I have always been drawn to scottish culture and have recently gotten extremely interested in family history. If anyone knows any other good sites please let me know. Thanks

I enjoyed the site very much and was glad to have found it. I am searching for the ancestors of my grandmother, Martha McCallister. Martha was b. 7-3-1901 at Garretts Bend, Lincoln County, West Virginia. d. 11-12-1938. She married Elzie (Elza) Walter Ferrell. I have her father listed as Alford (Alfred) McCallister b.abt 1877. The mother of Martha as Julia Ann "Annie" Lawson, b.4-27-1877, d.3-25-1962. If you have any info, dates, etc. please email me. Thanks.

Looking on the net for any web pages on carl mcallister

Outstanding page and great information. Thank you so very much.

Having a hard time finding my ancesery on the McAllister side.

Grandson of Olive Bell McAlister, of Wilford C, of Charles, of James.

Hi to all CMA members and staff. I appreciate all that you do for us McAlister's! We have to stick together or we will loose someone in the process. I am A09 line and hope to see more articles soon in the quarterly journal on my line. I recently sent some pedigree's to add to the line. Hope they helped. Bye for now, Les.

Nice to see the name so proud.

I just stumbled upon these pages and thought I would check them out.

it is wonderful to see so many people taking an interst in our mcallister heritage

i think this site is very good. i also loved the movie Braveheart and couldnt believe one man was able to stand up for what he believed in against the english.i had no idea Wallace was a real historical figure until i watched the making of Braveheart where they talked about Wallace and his success in defeating english armies for freedom. though the movie wasnt as acurate as the real Wallace, it was still very good and deeply touched many people(including myself).

I am very pleased to find this wonderfull site as i am trying to trace my ancesters. I know that some of them moved to the U.S.A. many years ago.

It's a real neat site!!

I have only been going to ancestry.com and rootsweb.com this is the first I have found this site . It is good to see other people in the The Love of Family

there is quite a history about the mcallisters that started a tugboat company in new york in the year 1864.they are desendents of jimmy the miller.i was wondering if you had any information on that part of the family.thank you

Facinating. I am on my way to the UK next week and hope to visit the Kintyre area to learn more. I do have records dating back to the 1700 that show a relative in the Virginia/North Carolina area. Supposidly, that is where the first US McAllisters landed. Write if you would like those details.

keep up the good work!

Hi, I am with the J12 line and I just wanted to say hello to all my "cousins" out there. This is a great site and the Journals are very very interesting (if your not a member - you really should join - that is how I found what line I am in, I saw a picture of my cousin Don from Maine in a picture from a reunion (1998-I think). Anyway, to all of the people who keep this website up and all of the other stuff - you are doing a great job, keep up the good work. Dawn McAlister, J12, RI

Nice site ! I didn`t know there were that many of us. I moved to Germany a few years ago and am actively trying to make more of us. My immediate connection is from and around Lochgilphead, Scotland - pretty much the tradional Clan Lands.

Just saying hello.Sorry dont have an e-mail address.My ancestors are from Northern Ireland and their name was MacAlester.I dont really know much else as my grandparents are both dead.By the way the name MacAlester was used by the clan MacGregor during the proscription of their name,so some of your members may be related to the MacGregors.

Fantastic website, a lot of very informative information about William Wallace. If anyone is looking for more information on this most heroic of characters I would like to recommend Nigel Tranter's novel The Wallace.

I AM PROUD TO BE OF THE MCALLISTER CLAN AND I LIVE IN THE KENTUCKY AREA USA. MY FOURTH GRANDFATHER WAS BORN ON A HAND MADE FLAT BOAT GOING SOUTH ON THE OHIO FROM THE EAST COAST AFTER HIS PARENTS ARRIVED FROM IRLAND IN THE LATE 1800'S. MY FAMILY IS RICH WITH HISTORY OF OUR PAST AND STILL KEEP THE TRADITIONS THAT WAS HANDED DOWN FROM OUR FOR FATHERS. PLEASE CONTACT ME AND KEEP THE MCALLISTER CLAN ALIVE AND WELL.

Hi i've just read your page, glad to see people from as far away as yourself took the time to write about the "just cause", i've just watched the film braveheart again for the 26th time,"f**king superb" film. now maybe people will know why we scots hate the english with a vengeance, and we still fight for our voice!!!. anyway nuff' said. thx

what a wonderful website... i've learned more here in a few minutes than hours on other sites... just attended the scottish festival in arlington, tx this past weekend and it has my husband all fired up about sorting through the branches of the mcallister tree... i'm clueless about genealogy so i've no idea where to start but this looked a good place... with so many spellings of the name its rather confusing... but, my husband's name is ollie lee mcallister jr... and it would appear this paticular branch of the family won't be extending the name further... our daughter married and grant and we were unable to talk her into a hyphenated mcallister-grant last name... apparently jennifer kathleen mcallister-grant is just to long to fit on a form... haha... would love to hear from fellow mcallisters... wishing everyone a happy trails

Our branch comes from North Berwick, Scotland. Grandfather (John)about 1896-1920. Wife Marion Spears migrated to Australia with her four kids about 1922.
