In using any written sources, it is essential to bear in mind that the people of the islands were overwhelmingly Gaelic speaking. <\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div>

These records were kept by English-speakers, whose knowledge and interest in the local people was often slight.<\/p>

Bha mar a bha an t-ainm air a chl\u00e0radh a r\u00e8ir toil an duine a bha ga sgr\u00ecobhadh s\u00ecos, agus mar a bha na fir-cl\u00e0raidh ag atharrachadh, bha na h-ainmean ag atharrachadh cuideachd. A thuilleadh air a\u2019 mheasgachadh mar Catherine\u2014Kate agus Margaret\u2014Peggy a ch\u00ec thu ann an sg\u00ecre sam bith, bha na fir-cl\u00e0raidh anns na h-eileanan a\u2019 measgachadh Angus\u2014Aeneas, Finlay\u2014Philip, Effie\u2014Euphemia\u2014Henrietta, Marion\u2014Sarah, Gormelia\u2014Dorcas\u2014Dorothy, Rebecca\u2014Betsy\u2014Sophie, agus mar sin air adhart. Aig amannan gheibh thu boireannaich air an cl\u00e0radh le ainm eadar-dhealaichte aig \u00e0m am breith, \u00e0m am p\u00f2sadh, agus aig \u00e0m am b\u00e0is.<\/p>

Air sg\u00e0th nan duilgheadasan sin, cha robh sinn a\u2019 faicinn adhbhar sam bith airson ainmean dhaoine a chl\u00e0radh mar a tha iad air an cl\u00e0radh anns na cl\u00e0ran, agus airson sin ch\u00f9m sinn ri aon d\u00f2igh air litreachadh gach ainm, agus ged nach eil seo ceart a bharrachd, aig a char as lugha tha na h-ainmean air an litreachadh anns an aon d\u00f2igh. Leis a sin tha sinn a\u2019 litreachadh Christina, Christian, Christine, Chirsty, Christy, agus msaa., mar Kirsty, am fuaimneachadh as fhaisg air an ainm G\u00e0idhlig, Ciorstag, no Cairistiona.<\/p>

Tha trioblaid ann cuideachd le cuin a chaidh daoine a bhreith anns na h-eileanan. Tha na cl\u00e0ran s\u00ecobhalta airson p\u00f2sadh agus b\u00e0s an \u00ecre mhath ceart, ach gu math tric ce\u00e0rr airson breith duine. Chan eil na cl\u00e0ran eaglais a\u2019 d\u00e8anamh sgaradh eadar breith agus baisteadh leanabh, agus anns na h-\u00e0itichean iomallach dh\u2019fhaodadh seo a bhith gu math eadar-dhealaichte. Tha fios gu bheil na h-aoisean anns na cunntasan-sluaigh gu math ce\u00e0rr aig amannan, ach mar as tric anns na cl\u00e0ran againne tha sinne air cleachdadh an aois as freagarraich air a\u2019 chunntas-sluaigh agus air cl\u00e0ran na h-eaglais suas gu 1855. Tha sinn ag innse cuin a bh\u00e0saich daoine suas gu 1920, agus tha iad sin, agus fiosrachadh air p\u00f2saidhean a\u2019 tighinn bho na cl\u00e0ran oifigeil. Gheibh sinn leth-bhreac dhan fhiosrachadh sin dhuibh, ma tha sibh dha iarraidh, airson beagan cosgais.<\/p>

Airson tuilleadh fiosrachaidh chleachd sinn p\u00e0ipearan oighreachd agus p\u00e0ipearan eile, far a bheil iad rim faighinn, agus tha iad seo tric a\u2019 sealltainn nan ainmean mar ainmean-teaghlaich. Tha sinn cuideachd air cleachdadh beul-aithris anns an st\u00f2ras againn. Gu tric tha daoine a tha rannsachadh gu proifeasanta a\u2019 d\u00e8anamh d\u00ecmeas air beul-aithris, ach feumar cuimhneachadh gun t\u00e0inig am fiosrachadh \u00e0s a\u2019 choimhearsnachd, agus gu bheil e nas d\u00f2cha a bhith ceart na nithean a chaidh an sgr\u00ecobhadh le coigrich. Tha beul-aithris ri toirt cothrom dhuinn a dhol air ais ginealaich ann an teaghlaichean, gu toiseach no meadhan an ochdamh linn deug, agus uaireannan nas fhaide air ais na sin.<\/p>

Ma tha tuilleadh fiosrachaidh a dhith oirbh mu dheidhinn an d\u00f2igh anns na chruthaich sinn an st\u00f2ras, bidh sinn toilichte freagairt a thoirt dhuibh.<\/p>
