Getting too confused about where to post information.
If that was confusing me, the author, no doubt you, the visitor, was also confused.
A new (multiple) project(s) diary, Runcimans All, has now been created, and covers both the One Name Study and DNA Project activity.
Working assumption is that if you are interested in one, you are likely interested in the other!
These posts have all been migrated, but also left here to cope with any links that may still point to posts here.

4th: George & Janet (DARLING) RUNCIMAN
Took a while, but the family of Alexander & Janet (HENDRIE) RUNCIMAN mentioned as beginning to be included back in June, has now had some of the branch of George and Janet (DARLING) RUNCIMAN included, with links to the researcher(s) and dna pages as appropriate.
Most of the others mentioned on the Recently changed page are merely there because their source data references were checked and tidied up.
An even briefer descendant summary for George and Janet's family has also been included on the DNA Summary Patriarchs page, oriented to lines who may be able to furnish a dna project representative for this line (ie a direct male line RUNCIMAN descendant of George).

27th: Dunbar family & transcripts
Check out the updated RUNCIMAN One Name Study (ONS) pages.
A couple of updated entries have been added to the researchers list (one not yet linked to his main interest, the George RUNCIMAN who married Janet DARLING, primarily because the family hasn't yet been included in any detail).
The main changes have been to start including the family of Alexander RUNCIMAN & Janet HENDRIE of Dunbar, at least down to the Thomas who married Jean/Jane/Christina SIMPSON.
Also now included are the Dunbar Old Parish Register (OPR) transcripts done by Barbara that were originally published on Steve Gibbs' Rootsweb Mailing List introductory pages.
Links have been added to families already included in some form on the ONS pages.

23rd: 1911 Census
As I was researching a family that were from Ireland*, and there weren't that many RUNCIMANs in the Irish 1911 census, a distribution map for 1910/11 has been added (1910 because the States have 1910, but UK, Ireland and Canada have 1911).
The first set of entries included show what Irish counties had RUNCIMANs - all of 3 counties, and 12 people over 7 families/households.
A RUNICMAN search engine has also been included on the site.
It is set to only search the One Name Study, the DNA Project Portal (all projects sorry, not just Runciman), their related project diaries, the summary DNA project, and my own personal web pages.
* Anyone out there with an interest in the family of Alexander RUNCIMAN and his son Christopher (marr. Anne ROSS) from Cork?
I found Christopher's son Christopher and daughter Eveline in Islington, London in 1901 when looking for someone else.

27th: Thomas and Jean (SIMPSON) RUNCIMAN
The ONS pages have been updated to include a few more notes on the (assumed) family of Thomas and Jean (SIMPSON) RUNCIMAN.
Still to come, further details on the lines of Alexander (marr. to MANDERSON) and George (marr. to Janet DARLING).

26th: Stirling
Research on one William I couldn't find in England where expected in 1911 led me to an emigration record of a William, no further information on FindMyPast.co.uk.
The Canadian Archives end of the journey showed that he wasn't the chap I was looking for but did lead to a line of RUNCIMANs from Campsie, Stirling, with connections to Kirkintilloch (DNB).
End result is that the (very few) extant Stirling R*N*M*N* births/baptisms to be found in the OPR index have been included in the Name Distribution map for Births to 1854, with a page being added for Stirling (STI) showing the surname variants/date analysis.
All 18 births/baptisms, with 7 variant spellings between them, over two, probably related, families.
However, not included in the analysis for example is a variant noticed as part of this research - RUNCH. The Campsie family mentioned above appear in two ancestry.com census entries indexed as RUNCH, and not in the ScotlandsPeople census index extracted using R*N*M*N*.
So maybe the transcribers of the census got that one correct!

14th: Researcher added; Perth; Thomas (GRIEVE)
Time for another update.
Another researcher, and her branch have been included.
Diana would like to hear from you about Thomas and Alison (GRIEVE) RUNCIMAN, and the DNA project would like to hear from you if you are a direct male line RUNCIMAN descendant of this family as we wish to test a theory that Thomas is the brother of William of Crail.
Some progress made on analysing OPR births in Perth, but only for a few of the parishes so far (Inchture, Kilspindie done, Perth started).
Total Scottish OPR births (ie pre 1855) per county so far are ELN (293), PER (220), BEW (151), MLN (86) AYR (1)
