I'm assuming this is a made-up word and means what it looks like it means? (I don't have much Gaelic, but I'm pretty sure I've never come across it before!)
Chas Mac Donald
Well, depends on what you think it means! It's a sporran of resources for the diaspora!
Lynn McAlister
Yep - a combination of 'diaspora' and 'sporran'. That's what it looked like.

I'll put a bit more on the page shortly. This one was the first I set up, and I haven't had a chance to fill it in yet. However, as a genealogist, I think you'll be pretty interested.
Lynn McAlister
Yep. Could be a great place for people scattered about to connect, share information, etc. And I do think the name is clever. Do you have specific plans for the page, or just see how it develops?
Chas Mac Donald
Both, really. I will put up the info and see who bites! We're really struggling with the database info at the moment as inputters are exceptionally difficult to find. So that will take first priority, but getting people knowing about it is also really important, obviously.
