29 November 2009 Update to the Clan Moffat UK database. This edition takes us over the 23,000 names for the UK database. Moffats with significant new material are, for example:
- Charles Moffat (1880-1940) Hairdresser and Chiropodist;

28 October 2009 Update to the Clan Moffat UK database. This edition sees an attempt to get further back into the 16th and 17th centuries of the family of Moffat of that Ilk. The majority of birth and death dates are conjecture, as most of the individuals figure fleetingly in a reference to a Deed, a Sasine, a Court Summons or an Indictment. The point is to provide a background for identifying Robert Moffat, who served the King of Sweden during the 17th Century. Moffats with significant new material are, for example:
- Robert Moffat, ca 1615 - 1673 who served the King of Sweden during the 30-years War, married the noble Elizabeth Rutensköld and had a family, whose descendents live in Sweden to this day. Acknowledgements to Jeff Benson, "Moffats in Sweden", Clan Moffat UK Newsletter, Oct 2009, and Ingalill Lundgren, researcher contributing to anbytarforum, Sweden;
- Major revisions in the family of John Moffat and Mary Mounsey, who lived late 18th, early 19th century, and their many descendents around Penrith, Cumberland. Acknowledgement to Colene Vincent and Susan Lowes;
- Another major revision of the family of John Moffit and Jane Marshall, whose lives spanned the 19th century, of the dynasty of millers in Kirkwhelpington, Northumberland, who owned and worked the Mill for nearly 200 years. Grateful acknowledgement to Debra Wright.
1 October 2009 Update to the Clan Moffat UK database. A correction to the background of Alice Loeffler, second wife of Robert Unwin Moffat. Moffats with significant new material are, for example:
- George Moffat, b 1847, Caerlaverock, Dumfriesshire, master mariner from Liverpool, and his wife, Elizabeth Carswell;
- George Craig Moffat, b 1883 Glasgow;
- Michael Moffatt (1891-1948) from Wigan, and his wife Margaret Hansbury ;
- William Dow Moffat (1849-1920), golf club manufacturer from Musselburgh;
- William Moffat and his wife Agnes O'Neill, and their dynasty of shipyard workers in Partick, Glasgow;
- Charles Henry Oliver (1846-1916) of Sunderland, who married Mary Moffatt.
1 September 2009 Update to the Clan Moffat UK database. Extensive improvements in the Moffat families from Scotland, based on my (Colin Moffat) visit to the General Record Office, Edinburgh, in July 2009. Moffats with significant new material are, for example:

17 April 2009 Updates to Clan Moffat Society database continue to be posted from time to time. Still working through the backlog of eMail messages received with additions and corrections. If you've sent me a message in 2009 - I'm working on it and hope over the next few weeks to be more caught up. One new addition is a listing of 27 American Revolutionary War soldiers who can be identified in the database from a listing of Mofffat, Moffatt, Moffett, Moffitt in the DAR records. Click here to see this list. AND we've passed 75,000 individuals in the file.
2 Apr 2008 - We are pleased to announce that our genealogical database has been augmented by the addition of some 15,000 new “Moffat” entries, as compiled by the genealogist of the Clan Moffat UK & Eire. These entries are mostly limited to Great Britain, and limited to those bearing the name “Moffat” (or variant), as well as the husbands of Moffat women who marry. Its major advantage is that it contains ALL the Moffats resident in England, Scotland and Wales listed in the 1881 census, so that if your Moffat ancestor was in Great Britain during 1881, s/he will be in the database. Conversely, if s/he is missing, you can assume the person to be deceased, to have emigrated or, in the case of women, to have married and be using a different surname. Our goal is to increase the coverage to all Moffats listed in the UK Censuses 1841 – 1901. Please click here for a more detailed description of the database.
This database will be upgraded on a monthly basis. If you have corrections or additions to this database, please submit them to the genealogist using the SUGGEST facility, so that they can be incorporated in a subsequent upgrade.
