About these web pagesThe vast majority of the material in these web pages has been sent in by various Sinclairs and others all over the world, many of them through the Sinclair discussion list.These web pages are now static and will not change. Keep in mind that these were never intended to be the only Sinclair web pages. I recommend contacting the various Sinclair Clan organizations. See below and New for thanks to many who have already contributed.

Linking, Copying, and CopyrightFeel free to add links into these web pages. I do rearrange things from time to time, but I will attempt to keep old links working. If you tell me where you're putting your links, I'll usually put a link back to your page, as well.Unlike linking, copying has restrictions. Before copying material from these web pages to other web pages or for publication anywhere, please ask the author of the specific material; this is both a legal copyright requirement and the polite thing to do. The authors are attributed. Other material that is not specifically attributed was written by me; please ask before copying. The only exceptions I am aware of are the anonymous comments pages; if you want to copy one of those, I can forward a query to the author. And of course it's OK to copy brief excerpts for review purposes as fair use, as long as they are attributed, preferably including a link back to where it came from. See also the links about copyright in the genealogy page. —jsq |
Previous CommentsMore previous comments. Other Places to LookThese web pages are mostly work in progress, not the final word. If you want to see much of the discussion in progress, you should join the discussion list. If you want to see how it comes out in the end, you should join a clan organization.I am just a scribe, so there are lots of non-web-page questions I can't answer. The first places to look are the FAQ and the glossary. If you have questions about membership, officers, etc., in specific Sinclair organizations, it's best to check under Groups. If you have questions about genealogy, it's best to look for resources in the list of genealogy resources. You can join the Sinclair Genealogy List, which is moderated and strictly limited to genealogy.
For any of genealogy, organizations, history, families, people,
places, pictures, events, or any other topic related to Sinclairs,
your best bet is to join the
Sinclair Discussion List
and ask the people who are on it.

Please don't send massive pictures to

Jutul Films, for the web page of the chronology of Prince Henry Sinclair. Rob Cohn, (and Bill Sinclair and Kathleen Kidd) for the picture Malcolm, Earl of Caithness viewing the Monument in Guysborough, NS. Philip Sinclair Keat (Pakala) for his pages about Hawaii Sinclairs.

And of course the late Pete Cummings for his 600th Celebration News, for his article about tracing your ancestors, and for many bibliographic citations. No doubt there are others whom I have neglected to name. Keep in mind that the web pages at http://sinclair.quarterman.org/ were never intended to be the only Sinclair web pages. They are more of an overview that should over time increasingly use links into other pages elsewhere. Send in URLs for your own web pages; I will add links to them. The more the merrier. The beauty of the web is that many hands can make light work that can be woven together. In addition, the web pages I started about specific organizations are placeholders. I look forward to the corresponding organizations developing their own web pages, when I will link to them. I congratulate Richard Huseth and Clan Sinclair Association, Inc. U.S.A. for being among the first to fly the nest. Thanks, John |
