February 5, 2006 - Google Ads
The annual out-of-pocket cost for me to maintain the Lindsay International
web site and the International Lindsay Surname DNA Project has grown
significantly. It has reached a level that requires me now to seek
subsidies to help defray these costs if possible in order to maintain the
features enjoyed at this web site by the international Lindsay community.
Thus, as you can see, with the February 5, 2006 update, I have added Google Ads
to several pages. This will be a trial to see if this action produces
effects that are unacceptable to any of us. I will appreciate your
feedback, either positive or negative. Send a note to Ron
Lindsay, the site webmaster.

January 27, 2002 - Cutoff Date For DNA Project
Sign-Up Established
The Lindsay Surname DNA Project has reached the stage where we must establish

properly carry out the necessary administrative activities associated with the
Project.
The cutoff date for initiation of the Sign-Up Form and submitting the
required three generations of Lindsay (how ever spelled) lineage is Friday,

Anyone submitting a Sign-Up Form after that date will be included in the next

second round of testing. It will depend solely upon the level of interest and a
large enough group to justify the effort.

August 8, 2001 - Linzee Family Association Announcement
[ The Lindsay International web site
normally will not be used to post items for sale.
However due to the significant genealogical nature of the following
announcement and also its potential value to Lindsays (how ever spelled)
worldwide, an exception is being made.
]
***************************************************
The Linzee Family Association of America,
Inc. (a non-profit organization incorporated in the state of Massachusetts)
wishes to advise that it intends to publish a second edition of the two volume
set of genealogical works entitled: The History of the Linzee Family and
the Limesi, Lindsay, Lindsey, Etc. Families, authored
by John William Linzee, Jr., B.S., B.A.
The set was originally published privately by
the Fort Hill Press of Boston Massachusetts in 1917 for the author John William
Linzee, Jr. At that time many sets were distributed to interested family members,
genealogical societies on both sides of the Atlantic, many public libraries, the
College of Arms in London and the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C..
With the passage of time, it has become clear
that since 1917, many newly interested individuals, both Linzee descendants and
others, warrant a second printing of the two-volume set.
The title page of Volume I reads: The
Lindeseie and Limesi Families of Great Britain, with the subtitle Including
The Probates At Somerset House, London, England of All Spellings Of The Name
Lindeseie From 1300 - 1800. This
volume gives an extensive treatise on the origin and history of the surname
Lindsay, including virtually all of its spelling variations.
Volume I is divided into four chapters. Chapter
I covers the ancient records of Lindeseie and Limesi in Great Britain.
Chapter II covers the ancient records of Lindsay in Scotland and England.
Chapter III treats general compilations of the ancient records of the
Limesi Family, the Lindeseie Family and the Lindsays of Scotland.
The final Chapter IV lists the probates referred in the subtitle above.
The title page of Volume II reads: The
Linzee Family of Great Britain and the United States of America
and Allied Families of Penfold, Hood, Amory, Tilden, Hunt, Browne, Wooldridge,
Evans. It is a bit more
specific in that it chronicles the descendants of the author’s earliest known
Linzee ancestor, Thomas Linzee who died November 1687 and was buried in the St.
Mary’s Church cemetery in Kingston, Portsea, Hants, England.
Starting with Thomas Linzee and his wife Elizabeth (Hill) Linzee, the
author tracks all their descendants up to the time of printing in 1917.
Also included in Volume II, amongst the
numerous descendants, are many other family names of note who are associated
with the Linzee genealogy through marriage; such families as Hood, Penfold,
Pasco, Amory, Tilden, Browne, Prescott, Parker, Warick, Hunt and others.
The descendants made their homes around the world including such diverse
locations as New Zealand, Australia, India, South Africa, the Americas, and of
course Europe and the British Isles.
As a guide, the Linzee Family Association
anticipates the cost of the book reprint to be as follows.
Volume I
soft cover $
50.00 USD [see note(1)]
Volumes I & II
(as a set) soft
cover $ 90.00 USD
Volumes I & II
(as a set) hard
cover $175.00 USD [see note (2)]
Notes: (1)
Volume I of the soft cover version may be purchased separately, but
Volume II of the soft cover version will only be sold as part of a
two-volume set. (2) The hard cover reprint will only be
sold as a two volume set.
Outside its own membership, the Linzee Family
Association Inc. is making an attempt to ensure that they can satisfy the needs
of the global Clan Lindsay (how ever spelled) as well as the worldwide
genealogical community with their planned reprint.
Although the reprint date has not yet been established,
if you have an interest in obtaining one or more of these volumes, you
should immediately send the Linzee Family Association of America, Inc an e-mail
message indicating the desired volume or volumes and the binding (soft or hard
cover) of your choice. Someone from the
Linzee Family Association will respond to your inquiry.
The Linzee Family Association Inc. can be reached at the following e-mail
address.
