Excerpt from The Families of Moir and Byres From pages 84 to 96 will be found a notice of all t/ze Moirs, extracted from the Register of St. Nicholas from 1570 to 1700, and although many of the entries obviously belong to families whose genealogy is given in the body of the work, the author thought it better, as he has had no access to family papers, &c., to leave them, in most cases, in this register, rather than guess at their proper place in the various genealogies.

Recollecting is a rich collection of essays that illuminate the lives of late eighteenth-century to the mid twentieth-century Aboriginal women, who have been overlooked in sweeping narratives of the history of the West. Some essays focus on individual women - a trader, a performer, a non-human woman - while others examine cohorts of women - wives, midwives, seamstresses, nuns. Authors look beyond the documentary record and standard representations of women, drawing also on records generated by the women themselves, including their beadwork, other material culture, and oral histories.
