April
2002 Check out the articles from 'The Times' from April
2002,where we get a mention as they searched for the source of the poem
that the Queen used to preface the Order of Service at the Queen
Mothers' funeral. I had used the same supportive words on my tribute
page to Ruth and they requested my help in finding the anonymous source!

For those with an interest in our
family's Genealogy and have a Family Tree with over 3000 names
going back to King Kenneth II (of Scotland) who was
crowned in the year 975. Our main family tree page shows the
descendants of 'Highland' Donald McLeman, originally from Avoch, who
took his family to Broadsea (Fraserburgh) in the mid 1700's. If you are
a "McLeman" with a Fraserburgh connection the chances are that we are not
too distantly related! We are in 'e-contact' with McLeman's all
over the world and are really pleased to have any additional input! The
tree
also now has links to a growing gallery of photos!
The derivation of our name is
believed to be from 'McLamont-= Son
of Lawman'
Andrew's
business also has a website - Please feel free to visit!
McLeman QS Network
We also have a 'passing'
interest in Personal Car Registrations and have a page
with some interesting combinations seen around Edinburgh! Personal Registrations
The local church's web site is
also 'maintained by us. Visit the site and find out how
the church was selected over the internet for a wedding
by a couple from Atlanta and how we all got involved -
Andrew was 'Webmaster of the Bride' and walked Chasanne
down the aisle!! Kirk of Calder
Also you can find the details
of the McLeman Family reunion held in Inverness in July
1999 (updated with photos of the event) McLeman Reunion
This page was first
created in October 1997 and last updated in December 2013.
The following are books that
relate in some way to our family history.
'The Christian
Watt Papers' It is a rare insight to life at that time and tells
her own story of her life in Broadsea (Fraserburgh) in the mid
nineteenth century. Sharing common ancestors with Christian mean many on
our family
tree are related to people mentioned in the book. Read my father's (G Douglas McLeman') book review here
"My Secret
Mother" - Lorna Moon (Nora Low) was a descendant of my
great grandmother's family and in this book her son, Richard De
Mille, tells in this biography her astonishing life story from her origins in Strichen in
Aberdeenshire to her time as an author of novels and silent movie
screenwriter in Hollywood for Cecil B de Mille. See also how
Lorna relates to our family Low
