On eBay there was a CD version of "Genealogy of the Wardlaw Family" up for auction. I bought this one and another one like it. I'll have these for sale if you are interested.
  | NEW I thought this was a really interesting item that Mr. Kennedy wrote me about. Just wanted to share this with everyone. We are not selling this item, we are just showing this to you and letting you know about it. This is a painting of Mrs. Wardlaw of Netherbeath that is going up for auction soon. We are being given an opportunity to purchase this prior to the auction if anyone is interested. In my next book "Ancestral Earth - Part Three" there is a very large chapter on the Wardlaws in Netherbeath. I have recently discovered a book that gives much more info than I had before of Wardlaws being in all these Beath areas for many generations. This is just FYI if you are interested in purchasing this painting before the auction begins. "The portrait is signed by David Martin 1788 PPW. Some investigation discloses that Martin was named "Painter Prince of Wales" in 1786. He also did the portrait of Ben Franklin that hangs in the US National gallery. The dimensions of portrait are as follows: frame 30"x35" inside 23"x29". On the back of the painting is a statement that it was on loan to the Royal Scottish Acad. in 1933. Also purchased along with portrait was 12 1790 George III Irish Chippendale chairs. The reason that I contacted you after seeing your website, was I thought that a member of the clan might be interested in purchasing before it goes to auction at Bonhams. It would save commissions, shipping etc. My contact with Bonhams is Mr. Andrew Mckenzie. Thank you for your response, George Kennedy, Jr. I believe that the estimate at auction would be between 12,000 and 15,000 pounds. This would be $15,000 to 18,000. If anyone is interested in purchasing the portrait they could contact me at my e-mail gck1@bellsouth.net or gck0@bellsouth.net , mailing address George C. Kennedy, Jr., Attorney at Law, P. O. Box 392, Greenville, GA. 30222 or phone (cell) best, 770-301-2822. The scheduled auction is April 19, 2009. I will be shipping circa April 1, 2009. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact. George Kennedy, Jr." |
We are now into our FIFTH YEAR! Stay with us!
 | Mark sent me this really cool picture of him in his full Scottish outfit! Wow! He writes: "We're busy with activities with the St. Andrews Society. I joined the color guard and we recently completed the Scottish Walk in Alexandria, VA, (see pic) and we have the Burns Night Supper coming up. The majority of the guard are from the MacKenzie Clan, so we wear their tartan. I hope to get the Wardlaw kilt this year." See next box for his company. |
 We now have our first sponsor/advertiser! Our own member #63, Mark Wardlaw, has a remodeling business in Bowie, Maryland.This is a great way to get your advertising word out and have a nice advertising tax deduction at the same time. Your ad will run on our website as well as in our newsletters. Cost for an ad is $50, payable to the CWA. Money will help further our ability to offer you more activities in the future, such as we have done in the past with our tartan and coat-of-arms. We are now able to have a booth in local Highland Games across the country. We have a nice large banner with our logo, tartan and arms. Local members in each area are encouraged to get involved with their highland games and participate in our booth. Thanks, Mark! You can visit Mark at his website: www.bnvhome.com Thanks to Mark Wardlaw, too, for taking our Wardlaw Tartan to the 'Kirkin' o' the Tartans' at the Washington National Cathedral in Wash., DC April 19, 2008. He said that our Wardlaw Tartan is now blessed and that the ceremony was beautiful! There were some 60-75 clans represented! The St. Andrews Society's own Pipe & Drum Corps was perfect! Maybe next year many of our members can plan on attending this wonderful ceremony! |  |
