    I believe you are correct on the founder being very ill, at least I know he has been.

    As for the list not being very active, perhaps not, but as an associate (I'm not a full member) I do receive quarterly newsletters that show otherwise.

    I do as well. I don't agree with everything they say, but I have found a few nuggets of information, such as the stories about the O'Mahoney of Bulgaria and the Bulgarian tartan in their newsletters.
