Burr Oak Baptist Pastor

Found a web page that lists Rev. Hugh McInnes as pastor of Burr Oak Baptist Church from 1940-1944, located near Albion, Indiana. The only highlight listed was a Gospel Team from Grace Seminary.

New Photo Album

Check out the new Flikr badge in the sidebar. It's a little skimpy now but I'll keep adding more photos. Feel free to leave comments with each picture in Flickr, that way I don't have to duplicate all the pics on the blog.

Misener Resource Family Page

I recently discovered a HUGE resource site for the Misener family in North America. Connie Duke has compile an alphabetical listing of many branches of the Misener family. She does give a disclaimer though - she hasn't personally researched the information so be sure to double check dates and places, etc.

McCullough Coat of Arms

The same coat of arms is claimed by both Scottish MacCullochs and Irish MacCulloughs.
Ermine fretty Gules. Crest: A hand throwing a dart all proper. Motto: vi et animo (I live and breathe).

While not in the list of the hundred most numerous surnames in Ireland, MacCullagh, MacCullough and other spelling variants such as MacCollough and MacCulloch combined constitute one of our most numerous names, with an estimated population in Ireland of nearly 5,000 persons. Together they constitute one of the fifty most common names in Ulster and eighty to ninety per cent of those of the name in Ireland are of that province, principally Antrim, Down and Tyrone.
Petty's “census” reveals a similar position in 1659, when MacCullough and variants was listed as among the principal Irish names in the baronies of Antrim, Belfast, Carrickfergus and Toome in Co. Antrim and Lower Iveagh in Co. Down. In the previous century the Annals of Loch Cé tell us that Seamus Mac Con Uladh was killed at Dunbo (near Coleraine) in 1532. This name is given by the learned editor in his index as MacCullagh. Today in Ulster about one-third use the -agh ending and most of the remainder the -ough, although MacCullow and MacCulloch are also found. The -ough spelling is very much more common in counties Antrim and Down, but it must be remembered that the spellings do not necessarily denote the origins of any particular family.

The name MacCulloch is also that of an important Scottish family. This name is traditionally derived from the Scots-Gaelic word culach, a boar, and in this connection it is interesting to note that in Co. Sligo, within living memory, Boar and Bower were in use as synonyms of MacCullagh. These MacCulloughs can be of two origins. MacCulloch is and was common in the province of Galloway, whence stemmed so many of the Ulster settlers. Its origins, however, are totally obscure, and although it has been suggested that it derives from the Scots Gaelic Mac Cullaich, it is possible that it too derives from Mac Cú Uladh and represents previous Irish settlers in Galloway. This theory is reinforced by the fact that the MacCulloughs of Ireland and the MacCollochs of Scotland claim similar coats of arms. - Source
