[Ansteorra] lost branches

[Hillary Greenslade]

Thanks so much for doing this... very cool.  

You have a listing for the 'Shire of Dun Bruthain', which I believe is actually supposed to be the 'Canton of Dun Druthain', a canton in the west side of town for Stargate, that eventually became the 'Canton of Westgate'.  I'm posting it to the list, in the event I'm wrong; I don't believe it was ever a shire, but rather a canton.   

According to the (still online) Westgate website, Westgate has three different name incarnations, as it attempted to pass all of them through the College of Arms, to no avail, and eventually settled on the finally registered:  'Westgate'.  
Westgate's site:   http://westgate.ansteorra.org/history.html
Those former names are:   
Dun Bruadair (1990), followed by Dun Bruadail and then Dun Brothain.  (kinda stuck on a theme back then).  

During the rest of this year, I'll try to send/setup some info on further history, before it's lost to time and memory.   
But, if you want to make those additional adjustments for prior branches, I'd be appreciative.  

Cheers, Hillary

Subject: [Ansteorra] lost branches

A few years ago, Mari ingen Briain meic Donnchada compiled a list of  
all the old branch names she could find--those that had been  
superseded by other names and those that had belonged to branches  
that no longer existed.  I've just finished entering them (plus a few  
others I encountered along the way) into the history wiki <http:// 
historian.ansteorra.org/wiki>, creating a page for each branch and  
making a redirect to that page for each name it's had other than its  
current or final one.  It should now be possible to search for any  
name by which you might've known a branch in days past and find the  
page on it.  (Unless, of course, I've missed some. . .which is very  
possible.)
