Key issues for a Clan Gunn history book now on Kindle Amazon

22/3/2014

Picture
I obviously have mentioned on the Home page that I have written a Clan Gunn history book called  Key issues for a Clan Gunn history - details for the print text can be found at http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/awgunn.

But it is also now available through Amazon. As well, I have converted it to being an Amazon  Kindle book. This Kindle book not quite the same as the print text due to limitations of the Kindle - it doesn't like footnotes, for example, and must have endnotes!

At the moment it is on a reduced price on Amazon (I have no idea for how long) but I have also made it available on the Kindle library if you are an 'Amazon Prime' customer.

See
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Key-issues-Clan-Gunn-history-ebook/dp/B00J5M764C/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1395507295&sr=1-4&keywords=gunn+clan

A litle more on 'Snaekollr Gunnisson'

16/3/2014

1 Comment

 
I have just added a further post concerning Snaekoll Gunnisson - see 'Scottish History' then 'Orkney issues' then 'Why Gunns are not of Norse / Orkney descent' or just go straight to

http://clangunn.weebly.com/why-gunns-are-not-of-norse--orkney-descent.html 

Later (23 April)  - Given the comment below it is worth noting that obviously, over time, some Gunns (and Hendersons) have 'married' into families with Norse genes; the idea that the Gunns (as traditionally we are meant to) derive from the Orkneys remains extremely questionable.  In particular,  considering the 'Chief' issue,  there is no support for such origin. 

And, of course, one has to consider the surnames; not all people bearing names like Gunn and Henderson are necessarily Gunn and Henderson.  It is known for people to take on local surnames for a variety of reasons...

There is no conflict between random Gunns / Hendersons having some Norse genes and my thesis that Gunns derive from the Highlands of Scotland.

I must write a full DNA entry at some time.

I like the following from the excellent http://ramscraigs.com/?cat=14 which explores the Gunn Henderson DNA issue ;

No discussion of Henderson pre-history would be complete without mention of DNA testing of Henderson Y chromosomes, and what it tells us about history. In 2009, a detailed genetic sequence of a Henderson Y chromosome was performed (67 markers) and it gave the first indications of a Norse, rather than Scottish deep ancestry. The DNA sequence showed that the Y chromosome has a very strong Norse origin, with likely origin in Norway, Sweeden or Iceland. It falls into the genetic designation of “I1d”, also known as I1 “Ultra Norse”. This norse heritage, and the unusual nature of the chromosome sequence (even within the I1d databases) means that finding a similar expression will strongly imply a shared heritage.

By the historical account of the genesis of the Hendersons of Caithness, this Y chromosome should be very close to the Gunn Y chromosome, and this is where the mysteries start.

The Gunns have been working on a catalog of their Y DNA for some time. In fact they have a robust variety of tests results. Nearly every Gunn man tested comes back with a DNA sequence that falls into two very similar groups. These DNA sequences show broad european origin, or the “R1b” designator (as opposed to Henderson I1). Across northern Europe as a whole, the “R” genes account for 80% of the population, and the “I” genes account for 18%. Of the 3 dozen or so Gunns tested, there is a very predictable pattern, none of which are even close to the Henderson I1d.

The Gunns that had been tested were mostly families that had been in the USA for several generations, and had cloudy concepts of their connection to Caithness. This called into doubt (in the researcher’s mind anyhow) how much stock to put in their DNAs relevance. As luck would have it, we found and befriended a fellow (David Gunn) who has not only a direct and recorded link to Caithness, his family lived in the Ramscraigs area. He kindly agreed to be tested, and after a few weeks of waiting, the results came in with a strong R1b type, aligned with the main European male line.

That means the results show no Y chromosome similarity between him and the Henderson DNA tested. In fact, he is a strong match for the main body of the Gunn male line, which is likely to re-construct the lines of a few of the Gunn families cleared from the Strath of Kildonan, which will be significant progress in the Gunn project.

What does that mean for Henderson history? There are several options, but suffice to say, none of us will likely ever see the answer to this, unless DNA testing for genealogical purposes becomes more common. Some theories are below:

1: Family Plan – History as cited may be correct but incomplete. When Henry Gunn left his family to form the Hendersons, he likely took his sons and daughters with him. This means that it is possible that his daughter’s families also took the name Henderson, thus giving us a surname that is not genetically connected to the Gunn line.

2: Friends Plan – When Henry formed his new family, some of the retainers of the Gunn family went with him, and took the Henderson name. This would mean there were multiple male blood lines at the formation of the Henderson of that area.

3: 6th House: There are 5 documented cases of the emergence of the surname “Henderson” across Scotland when last names came into fashion in the middle ages. It is possible that our ancestors came to use this name on their own because of some progenitor named Henry.

4: The Lost Line: This is the biggest wild card in the deck. As history would have it, the chief’s line in the Gunn family died out, to such an extent that the Gunns did not have a chief until one was appointed (for some reason) in the last 100 years. It is theoretically possible that the Hendersons of Berriedale and Dunbeath do carry Henry Gunn’s Y chromosome, which is the same as George the Crowner of Caithness. The Gunn progenitors were referred to in history as the “Ultimate Vikings” and were from the same region that our “I1d – Ultra Norse” is found.

As DNA Genealogy is still an emerging field, more test results will help us (eventually) unravel this mystery.


and a further comment

'there is no consistent (Gunn) blood line, though the DNA suggest actually a multi-tribe confederation of some sort. Y chromosome statistics indicate there were at least 2 main groups, both of which are Celt / Pict stock'

Of course in my view the DNA aspect for Gunns will not work well; if Smibert is correct, which I think he is, then Gunns are really a non-kindred 'tribe' of original inhabitants of 'Sutherland / Strathnaver'. Such genetic links between them would be coincidental and random.

For a useful summary about the strengths and weaknesses of DNA tests

Clan Gunn History Journal

13/3/2014

0 Comments

 
It has been suggested that I publish a 'Clan Gunn History Journal' every now and then so people can read and comment on the potential chapters of the 'New History' before it is published as one book. I see some merit in the idea but will think about it for a while before I make my mind up...

I've just added an entry on William Gunn 1795 - 1867, bagpipe maker, composer, publisher. 'The Gunns' Salute' composer? The title says it all. There is a link to a specialist article on 'The Gunns' Salute' for those who appreciate various settings of the music... See under 'Culture and Sport'.

Bits and bobs; St Donan and additions.

8/3/2014

0 Comments

 
  • The Clan Gunn Society UK is planning another weekend to celebrate St Donan. St Donan has nothing to do with Kildonan or the Gunns. See the first entry under the above Scottish history.
  • 28 February 2014. I've added more on Snaekollr Gunnisson's (Snaekoll Gunn) life and probable death in Norway. See under 'Scottish history'; the new information again shows that the supposed Clan Gunn - Orkney Islands (Norway) link is very, very questionable. 
  • 5 March 2014. I've just added more to Ronald Campbell Gunn, see under non-Scottish history.
