Letters and Diaries

This is the third and concluding volume of the Shennan family history series. It includes a large collection of family letters written between 1867 and 1947 by Alexander Shennan and his youngest son Theodore. The book concludes with some of Theodore Shennan's diaries which he kept between 1888 and 1897. Not only do the letters and diaries still exist but perhaps even more remarkably they were transcribed into digital files by Theodore's youngest daughter, Jean, who died in 2021. The original documents of both letters and diaries are now kept in the archive of Aberdeen University.
