Hello David,
I hope this email finds you and yours in good health.
I am attaching a file on my research of the Dorough
name. I believe that it shows our name has its roots
in Ireland and not Scotland as I now believe that the
Darrochs are either a seperate surname or are
descended from the Dubhdaras of Ireland. I would like
to register the surname with the Clans of Ireland
Office as I believe the information qualifys us. The
application requires us to have Clan Officers in
advance. Perhaps we can use the officers of the
Dorough Family Association if they are interested.
Have you heard anything as to the status of the
Dorough Family Association. Are you still an officer.
Since Robert passed has anyone continued his work?? I
have not heard of much going on .I once spoke to him
and he mentioned he might pass his files on to Stephen
Barber. Has there been any word on this?It seems since
Robert and Tom are gone there is litttle interest or
should I say no direction. I myself have not done as
much as I should.I hope to spend more time on the
history and origin of our surname and to perhaps
generate interest in Family Gatherings and Clan
Status.Let me know what you think.
All the Best
Richard Dorrough

Response.......Richard,

Thanks for the e-mail.   I still have the interest in genealogy
but no time to pursue it.     To my knowledge there has been no activity
with the Association since Robert passed and I have not had any contact
with Stephen Barber recently.   I probably have an old phone number or
address for him in the files and I'll dig it out if you need it.   Let 
me
know if you proceed with the registration   and feel free to use my name
in any way that is helpful (and copy me on any useful information).
