General Information

The Clan Society aims to build up a history of the Clan and its scattered representatives across the world in three main ways: research of the wider historical record; the Clan DNA project; and research and recording of Clan Society members’ own histories, in which your own efforts as a Clan Society member will play a key part, alongside the work of the Clan genealogists. Data from the initial researches included in your society application form will (unless otherwise indicated) be included in Clan Society records.   
 

Members' Further Researches

Once you have joined the society you are encouraged to extend your initial researches and submit further genealogical data for the records, where feasible. The clan genealogists stand ready to help, should you need advice or guidance on how to pursue further enquiries. They will also be pleased to deal with enquiries on the history of the Clan within their own regions.

Submitting Additional Genealogical Information

You can submit additional genealogical information for the Clan’s records either in the guise of our online genealogy form or, if you prefer, our PDF genealogy form, as explained below. Note that both variants are subject to restricted access, meaning only current members in possession of their unique username and password can gain access to them. If you are an existing member and have yet to receive your unique username and password, then please contact your Branch Secretary or the appropriate Deputy Chief's Lieutenant, who on your behalf, will request the information from the webmaster.

Online Genealogy Form (existing members only)

You will normally submit an online genealogy form to the genealogist for the branch which handled your application form, as each branch has its own genealogist. The branch genealogist will process the information you submit and add it to his local records/database.  Where appropriate the branch Genealogist will work in conjunction with the Clan Genealogist. (If you are in any doubt as to who to send the online genealogy form to, then please contact the Clan Chief, who can advise you further).

PDF Genealogy Form: (existing members only)

If you prefer, we also offer a PDF genealogy form, which you can complete and print out at your leisure. Once completed, you will need to post it to the appropriate address shown below, depending on which branch of the Society (and therefore which genealogist), you wish to send the information to. Your form will then be forwarded on to the relevant genealogist, by the receiving branch officer.

Extended Genealogy - Clan Chiefs

If you are an existing member, you can now access a copy of the 'Extended Genealogy of the Clan Chiefs'. This document, which has been produced by our Clan Genealogist Mr John Faid, is an extensive and meticulously prepared insight into the genealogical structure of the Clan Chiefs and is comprised of three parts. Please refer to our PDF downloads page for further details.

Genealogy Team

Our genealogy team is comprised of Mr John Faid, our Clan Genealogist and UK Branch Genealogist, and our other Branch Genealogists as shown below. The Genealogists collate and record data received from their own branches' members, but also share their knowledge, as appropriate, to enrich and extend our historical knowledge of the Clan. The Clan Genealogist has overall responsibility for the Clan records. If you wish to contact a Branch Genealogist directly, just click on the appropriate link below.
